AI update: The new Deepseek-R1 reasoning language model, Bytedance's Trae IDE, and my new book

 I spent a few days experimenting with Cursor last week. Bytedance's Trae IDE is very similar and is currently free to use with Claude Sonnet 3.5 and GPT-4o: https://www.trae.ai/home I would like to use Trae with my own API accounts but currently Bytedance is paying for LLM costs.

I have been experimenting with the qwen2.5 and qwen2.5-coder models that easily run on my M2Pro 32G Mac. For reasoning I have been going back to using OpenAI O1 and Claude Sonnet, but after my preliminary tests with Deepseek-R1, I feel like I can do most everything now on my personal computer.

I am using: ollama run deepseek-r1:32b

I recently published my new book “Ollama in Action: Building Safe, Private AI with LLMs, Function Calling and Agents” that can be read free online at https://leanpub.com/ollama/read
