DeepSeek R1 has generated a lot of excitement among AI fans. It is open source but can perform at the level of some of the best closed models. You can run it on a variety of platforms, including Android. For that, you are going to need Termux, which is terminal emulator that lets you run a Linux environment on your Android device.

You are also going to need Ollama. You can just clone its GitHub repository and start your Ollama server. Now you are ready to run any model, including DeepSeek R1. For that model, you should run “ollama run deepseek-r1.”
