It's also not helping the confusion that the distills themselves were made and released by DeepSeek.
If you want the actual "lighter version" of the model the usual way, i.e. third-party quants, there's a bunch of "dynamic quants" of the bona fide (non-distilled) R1 here: https://unsloth.ai/blog/deepseekr1-dynamic. The smallest of them is just able to barely run on a beefy desktop, at less than 1 token per second.
