I am aware not too long ago when Azure AI Foundry first launched the DeepSeek-R1 model, there was a max context length of 40k tokens. This is also when Azure AI Foundry was offering the DeepSeek-R1 model for free.

Now that DeepSeek-R1 is no longer free on Azure AI Foundry, what is the max context length for DeepSeek-R1? Is it still 40k tokens? Note: The original DeepSeek-R1 model can take in up to a max 128k context length.

    Hi Leo Chow,
    Currently, the DeepSeek-R1 model is in Preview mode, and it supports a maximum context length of 128k tokens. This extended context length enables the model to excel at complex reasoning tasks, including language understanding, scientific reasoning, and coding.
