Ollama is confusing people by pretending that the little distillation models are "R1"

I was baffled at the number of people who seem to think they're using "R1" when they're actually running a Qwen or Llama finetune, until I saw a screenshot of the Ollama interface earlier. Ollama is misleadingly pretending in their UI and command line that "R1" is a series of differently-sized models and that distillations are just smaller sizes of "R1". Rather than what they actually are which is some quasi-related experimental finetunes of other models that Deepseek happened to release at the same time.

It's not just annoying, it seems to be doing reputational damage to Deepseek as well, because a lot of low information Ollama users are using a shitty 1.5B model, noticing that it sucks (because it's 1.5B), and saying "wow I don't see why people are saying R1 is so good, this is terrible". Plus there's misleading social media influencer content like "I got R1 running on my phone!" (no, you got a Qwen-1.5B finetune running on your phone).
