The AI world just witnessed a groundbreaking fusion – DeepSeek R1T Chimera launched on OpenRouter on April 27, 2025, blending the reasoning prowess of DeepSeek-R1 with the efficiency of V3-0324. This 685B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model achieves 40% fewer output tokens while maintaining R1-level intelligence, revolutionizing how developers access high-performance AI. Developed by Germany's TNG Technology Consulting, it's now freely accessible through OpenRouter's unified API platform.
?? The Chimera Blueprint: Where R1 Meets V3 Efficiency
Neural Network Alchemy
Unlike traditional model training, R1T Chimera directly combines R1's reasoning experts with V3-0324's efficient architecture. The fusion creates compressed yet potent output – solving complex problems in 15% fewer steps while maintaining 98.7% accuracy in MATH benchmark tests. Its adaptive token routing dynamically allocates computing resources, enabling 22% faster response times than standard R1 implementations.
The Efficiency Breakthrough
During stress testing, Chimera processed the viral "7m sugarcane through 2m door" spatial puzzle with 40% fewer tokens than R1. While taking 101 seconds vs R1's 13 seconds, its solution demonstrated stricter logical rigor – calculating precise angle measurements rather than relying on human-like intuition. This token-compressed reasoning makes it ideal for cost-sensitive applications like automated report generation and code optimization.
