Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
DeepSeek VL2 supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
DeepSeek
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B was developed as a compact distilled variant, designed to bring reasoning capabilities to a more efficient 8B parameter Llama base. Built to democratize access to reasoning-enhanced models, it provides a lightweight option for applications requiring analytical depth with limited resources.
DeepSeek
DeepSeek-VL2 was developed as a vision-language model, designed to handle both visual and textual inputs for multimodal understanding tasks. Built to extend DeepSeek's capabilities beyond text-only processing, it enables applications requiring integrated analysis of images and language.
