Abstract: The ways in which the recent progresses of reasoning large language models (LLMs), especially the new open-source model DeepSeek-R1, can benefit financial services is an underexplored problem. While LLMs have ignited numerous applications within the financial sector, including financial news analysis and general customer interactions, DeepSeek-R1 further unlocks the advanced reasoning ability with multiple reinforcement learning–integrated training steps for more complex financial queries and provides distilled student models for resource-constrained scenarios. In this paper, we first introduce the technological preliminaries of DeepSeek-R1. Subsequently, we benchmark the performance of DeepSeek-R1 and its distilled students on two public financial question–answer datasets as a starting point for interdisciplinary research on financial artificial intelligence (AI). Then, we discuss the opportunities that DeepSeek-R1 offers to current financial services, its current limitations, and three future research directions. In conclusion, we argue for a proper approach to adopt reasoning LLMs for financial AI
