It’s been a little more than a month since Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, an offshoot of Hong Kong-based High-Flyer Capital Management, released the latest version of its hit open source model DeepSeek, R1-0528.
Like its predecessor, DeepSeek-R1 — which rocked the AI and global business communities with how cheaply it was trained and how well it performed on reasoning tasks, all available to developers and enterprises for free — R1-0528 is already being adapted and remixed by other AI labs and developers, thanks in large part to its permissive Apache 2.0 license.

This week, the 24-year-old German firm TNG Technology Consulting GmbH released one such adaptation: DeepSeek-TNG R1T2 Chimera, the latest model in its Chimera large language model (LLM) family. R1T2 delivers a notable boost in efficiency and speed, scoring at upwards of 90% of R1-0528’s intelligence benchmark scores, while generating answers with less than 40% of R1-0528’s output token count.
