  But how does it stack up against ChatGPT? Let’s break it down! 👇🔥

🚀 Why DeepSeek Might Just Outshine ChatGPT

While ChatGPT has long been the go-to AI model for many, DeepSeek is raising the stakes with some serious technical advantages. If you're looking for speed, efficiency, and customization, DeepSeek might just be the next best thing to transform your AI experience.
Let’s take a closer look at how these two heavyweights compare:

With all these cutting-edge advantages, DeepSeek is proving to be a powerhouse in AI-driven applications. Ready to get hands-on? Let’s dive into implementing DeepSeek using Groq Cloud and Ollama! 🚀

🚀 Implementing DeepSeek with Groq Cloud in Colab

Pre-requisites:

To get started with DeepSeek on Groq Cloud, you need to have a Groq Cloud API key. This API key allows you to connect to Groq's powerful hardware for optimized execution. You can obtain your API key from the Groq Cloud dashboard. Just Sign up on Groq Cloud and generate your API Key.

Steps to Implement DeepSeek in Google Colab:

Now, let’s jump into implementing DeepSeek using Groq in Google Colab. You’ll first need to install the necessary libraries and set up the environment for accessing Groq's services.

1. Install Required Libraries

Run the following commands to install the necessary packages in your Google Colab environment:

!pip install langchain_groq
!pip install groq

2. Add and Set Up the GROQ_API_KEY

Once the libraries are installed, you need to authenticate using your Groq API key. To securely store your Groq API key in Google Colab, use the Secret tab for easy management of sensitive data.

Now, you can retrieve your key securely in the code by using the userdata module:

pythonCopyEditfrom google.colab import userdata

# Fetch your Groq API Key from userdata (you can set it in the environment)
GROQ_API_KEY = userdata.get('GROQ_API_KEY')

3. Initialize the Model

Now, let’s initialize the DeepSeek model with the Groq API key. You’ll be using the ChatGroq class to load the model and interact with it.

pythonCopyEditfrom langchain_groq import ChatGroq

# Initialize the model with the DeepSeek model ID and the API key
model = ChatGroq(model="deepseek-r1-distill-llama-70b", groq_api_key=GROQ_API_KEY)

# Print the model to ensure it has loaded successfully
print(model)

4. Invoke the Model

Now that you have the model set up, you can use it to get responses to your queries.

pythonCopyEdit# Ask the model a question
response = model.invoke("What is DeepSeek")

# Display the content of the response
print(response.content)

With this setup, you can now start interacting with DeepSeek via Groq Cloud, utilizing their powerful hardware acceleration for fast and efficient responses.

🚀 Implementing DeepSeek with Ollama in Colab

Let’s walk through the setup and code to run DeepSeek using Ollama.

1. Install Required Packages

Run the following commands to install the necessary packages and set up your environment:

pythonCopyEdit# Update system and install pciutils
!sudo apt update
!sudo apt install -y pciutils

# Install Ollama using the installation script
!curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

# Install the LangChain Ollama package
!pip install langchain-ollama

These commands will install Ollama and LangChain for Ollama on your system, allowing you to pull models and interact with them.

2. Start the Ollama Server

We need to start the Ollama server using a background thread. This will allow us to interact with the model in real time.

pythonCopyEditimport threading
import subprocess
import time

# Helper function to run ollama serve
def run_ollama_serve():
  subprocess.Popen(["ollama", "serve"])

# Start Ollama server in the background
thread = threading.Thread(target=run_ollama_serve)
thread.start()
time.sleep(5)  # Wait a few seconds to ensure the server starts

The code above starts the Ollama server in the background using Python's subprocess module. The time.sleep(5) ensures that the server has enough time to initialize before we proceed.

3. Pull the DeepSeek Model

Once the Ollama server is up and running, you can pull the DeepSeek model using the following command:

pythonCopyEdit!ollama pull deepseek-r1

This command will download the DeepSeek model (deepseek-r1) from Ollama’s repository. The model is now ready to be used in your environment.

4. Initialize the Model Using LangChain for Ollama

Now, we’ll use LangChain to interact with the DeepSeek model. LangChain provides an easy-to-use interface for interacting with different AI models, including those served by Ollama.

pythonCopyEditfrom langchain_ollama.llms import OllamaLLM

# Initialize the model from Ollama
model = OllamaLLM(model="deepseek-r1")

# Invoke the model to ask a question
response = model.invoke("What is DeepSeek")

# Display the response content
print(response.content)

With just a few simple steps, you've successfully implemented DeepSeek using Ollama in Google Colab.

🚀 Conclusion

And there you have it! We’ve just unlocked the Power of DeepSeek using Groq Cloud and Ollama. But hey, this is just the beginning! The AI landscape is constantly evolving, and your insights and ideas can shape the next big thing.💡 I'd love to hear how you're using DeepSeek, or if you have any cool suggestions or feedback on how we can take this even further.
