Wildly incorrect reasoning logic by the DeepSeek R1 NPU distillation released by Microsoft

Wildly incorrect reasoning logic by the DeepSeek R1 NPU distillation released by Microsoft

Solid reasoning coming out of Microsoft’s DeepSeek R1 NPU Optimized distillation…

“Wait, but in PowerShell, you can’t have a script with just one line unless it’s a single-line script”
