What is the issue?

It is time to stop confusing R1-Distill with R1, as R1 only has 671b parameters. Other parameters should be clearly marked as R1-Distill. It is recommended that these two entries be split into separate models at https://ollama.com/library/deepseek-r1 and https://ollama.com/library/deepseek-r1-distill.
Displaying them in the same entry has already caused cognitive confusion for many non-expert users.

It seems redundant, close
