In the announcement, Microsoft states DeepSeek R1 models will be coming to Qualcomm Snapdragon X-equipped PCs first, followed by computers with Intel Core Ultra 200V (Lunar Lake) CPUs and more down the line. Distilled DeepSeek R1 7B and 14B variants will be available via AI Toolkit, and it aims to take "full advantage" of Copilot+ PC NPUs.
