Also, the release of R1 under the MIT license means that in principle anyone can use R1 to generate synthetic training sets for improving other (non-reasoning) models. This may be a real game changer.

The one fly in the ointment is that Deepseek didn't deign to share details of their synthetic data generation procedure. But they are already way more transparent than any other non-academic AI lab, so it's hard to get mad at them over this.
