Add the New DeepSeek-R1-0528 Checkpoint

Hi! I’ve seen that DeepSeek recently released a new checkpoint called DeepSeek-R1-0528. I was wondering if this version has already been implemented in Merlin — and if not, could you please consider adding it? It would be great to work with the latest, most optimized release of the model.

Already updated by us, should be out soon in a stable release.
Edit: For some users, currently we might be overriding DeepSeek R1 with Grok 3 with Thinking, because the last release of R1 didn't support function calling (making it incompatible with our agentic chat).
It should stably be replaced with the new release 0528 by today!

Vijay Bharadwaj Thank you so much for the update here. This is great news. I think a lot of people here probably keep up with new model releases and we'd like to use those latest versions as soon as possible. Your team is great with Open AI and Anthropic model releases to quickly update the selection of models. However, I'd love for those updates / checkpoints to also get integrated into Merlin as quick as possible too. Thank you for working on this update. I believe this is a great capability for Merlin to be quick and nimble with new model releases. Thanks for all your team does to continue to improve.
