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-Qwen-1.5B was created through distillation into an ultra-compact Qwen architecture, designed to enable reasoning capabilities on resource-constrained devices. Built with just 1.5 billion parameters, it brings advanced analytical techniques to edge computing and mobile scenarios.
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.
