How to use DeepSeek-R1 on deepin

I've been experimenting with deepin lately, and some time ago I discovered that deepin's own AI app (UOS AI) accesses the DeepSeek-R1 model. So I'll share a tutorial on how to use it.

1. Update UOS AI deepin 23: One-click update via Application Store. deepin 25 Preview: sudo apt update sudo apt install uos-ai deepin-modelhub uos-ai-rag​

Pro Tip: First-time users will activate a free trial account post-installation.

After updating, open the Settings option in UOS AI, go to Model Configuration - Local Models, and select Embedding Plugin - Install/Update. You will be automatically redirected to the application store interface, where you can click Install/Update to complete the process.

1. Download & Install Model
   Grab the pre-optimized DeepSeek-R1-1.5B GGUF .
   Move the model to:
   /home/[USERNAME]/.local/share/deepin-modelhub/models ​

2. Activate in UOS AI
   Navigate: Settings → Model Configuration → Local Models → Select DeepSeek-R1-1.5B.

After completing the above configuration, you can use it directly in the software.
