You are probably being downvoted because your comment is not very helpful, and also a bit rude (ending with "dude").

It would be more helpful to provide some information on why you think this person is not using R1. For example:

You are not using DeepSeek-R1, but a much smaller LLM that was merely fine-tuned with data taken from R1, in a process called "distillation". DeepSeek-R1 is huge (671B parameters), and is not something one can expect to run on their laptop.

Is this text AI-generated?

Probably. It's helpful tho, isn't it?

I actually wrote it myself.

I set a personal goal in trying to be more helpful, and after two years of effort, this is what comes out naturally. The most helpful thing that I do is probably not posting senseless things.

I do sometimes ask ChatGPT to revise my comments though (not for these two).

You have reached chatgpt level helpfulness - congrats!

Wasn't a value judgement
