Tutorial DeepSeek FAQ – Updated

54 Upvotes

Welcome back! It has been three weeks since the release of DeepSeek R1, and we’re glad to see how this model has been helpful to many users. At the same time, we have noticed that due to limited resources, both the official DeepSeek website and API have frequently displayed the message "Server busy, please try again later." In this FAQ, I will address the most common questions from the community over the past few weeks.

Q: Why do the official website and app keep showing 'Server busy,' and why is the API often unresponsive?

A: The official statement is as follows:
"Due to current server resource constraints, we have temporarily suspended API service recharges to prevent any potential impact on your operations. Existing balances can still be used for calls. We appreciate your understanding!"

Q: Are there any alternative websites where I can use the DeepSeek R1 model?

A: Yes! Since DeepSeek has open-sourced the model under the MIT license, several third-party providers offer inference services for it. These include, but are not limited to: Togather AI, OpenRouter, Perplexity, Azure, AWS, and GLHF.chat. (Please note that this is not a commercial endorsement.) Before using any of these platforms, please review their privacy policies and Terms of Service (TOS).

Important Notice:

Third-party provider models may produce significantly different outputs compared to official models due to model quantization and various parameter settings (such as temperature, top_k, top_p). Please evaluate the outputs carefully. Additionally, third-party pricing differs from official websites, so please check the costs before use.

Q: I've seen many people in the community saying they can locally deploy the Deepseek-R1 model using llama.cpp/ollama/lm-studio. What's the difference between these and the official R1 model?

A: Excellent question! This is a common misconception about the R1 series models. Let me clarify:

The R1 model deployed on the official platform can be considered the "complete version." It uses MLA and MoE (Mixture of Experts) architecture, with a massive 671B parameters, activating 37B parameters during inference. It has also been trained using the GRPO reinforcement learning algorithm.

In contrast, the locally deployable models promoted by various media outlets and YouTube channels are actually Llama and Qwen models that have been fine-tuned through distillation from the complete R1 model. These models have much smaller parameter counts, ranging from 1.5B to 70B, and haven't undergone training with reinforcement learning algorithms like GRPO.

If you're interested in more technical details, you can find them in the research paper.

I hope this FAQ has been helpful to you. If you have any more questions about Deepseek or related topics, feel free to ask in the comments section. We can discuss them together as a community - I'm happy to help!

Discussion On the risks of any one company or any one nation dominating AI. On open source and global collaboration to mitigate those risks.

Upvotes

All it takes to hurl our world into an economic depression that will bankrupt millions of us and stall progress in every sector for a decade is a reckless move from a powerful head of state. As I write this, the pre-market NASDAQ is down almost 6% from its Friday closing. It has lost about 20% of its value since Trump announced his reciprocal tariff policy.

Now imagine some megalomaniac political leader of a country that has unilaterally achieved AGI, ANDSI or ASI. Immediately he ramps up AI research to create the most powerful offensive weapons system our world has ever known, and unleashes an ill-conceived plan to rule the entire world.

Moving to the corporate risk, imagine one company reaching AGI, ANDSI, or ASI, months before its competitors catch up. Do you truly believe that this company would release an anonymous version on the Chatbot Arena? Do you truly believe that this company would even announce the model or launch it in preview mode? The company would most probably build a stock trading agent that would within weeks corner all of the world's financial markets. Within a month the company's market capitalization would soar from a few billion dollars to a few trillion dollars. Game over for every other company in the world in every conceivable market sector.

OpenAI initially committed to being a not-for-profit research company vowing to open source models and serve humanity. It is now in the process of transitioning to a for-profit company valued at $300 billion, with no plan to open source any of their top models. I mention OpenAI because at 500 million weekly users, it has far beyond all other AI developers gained the public trust. But what happened to its central mission to serve humanity? 13,000 children under the age of five die every single day of a poverty that our world could easily and if we wanted to do. When have you heard about OpenAI making a single investment in this area, while investing $500 billion in a data center. I mention OpenAI because if we cannot trust our most trusted AI developer to keep its word, what can we safely expect from other developers?

Now imagine Elon Musk reaching AGI, ANDSI or ASI first. Think back to his recent DOGE initiative where he advocated ending Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare just as a beginning. Think back to the tens of thousands of federal workers whom he has already fired, as he brags about it on stage, waving a power chainsaw in the air. Imagine his companies cornering the world financial markets, and increasing their value to over 10 trillion dollars.

The point here is that because there are many other people like Trump and Musk in the world, either one single country or one single corporation reaching AGI, ANDSI or ASI weeks or months before the others poses the kind of threat to human civilization that we probably want to spare ourselves the pain of understanding too clearly and the fear of facing too squarely.

There is a way to prudently neutralize these above threats, but only one such way. Just like the nations of the world committed to a nuclear deterrent policy that has kept us safe from nuclear war for the last 80 years, today's nations must forge a collaborative effort to, together, build and share the AGI, ANDSI and ASI that will rule tomorrow's world.

A very important part of this effort would be to ramp up the open source AI movement so that it dominates the space. The reason for this could not be more clear. As a country, company or not-for-profit organization moves toward achieving AGI, ANDSI or ASI, the open source nature of the project would mean that everyone would be aware of this progress. Perhaps just as importantly, there are unknown unknowns to this initiative. Open sourcing it would mean that millions of eyes would be constantly overseeing the project, rather than merely hundreds, or thousands, or even tens of thousands were the project overseeing by a single company or nation.

The risks now stand before us, and so do the strategies for mitigating these risks. Let's create a United Nations initiative whereby all nations would share progress toward ASI, and let's open source the work so that it can be properly monitored.

Discussion V3 Coding

9 Upvotes

I tried very hard with V3 for coding work. Maybe my prompting wasn’t good enough but I found it was making numerous wrong assumptions basically guessing which required more debugging than it was worth. Another factor that may be relevant is using the DeepSeek public web site which has a default temperature of 1.0 or 1.3 I forgot. Reducing to 0.3 on openrouter helped reduce the guessing and verbosity but I still found it had very little context memory. It simply forgets things you have told it more than a few messages ago and goes back to guessing. I am disappointed because I wanted to support the concept of being free and open source.

Resources UPDATE: DeepSeek-R1 671B Works with LangChain’s MCP Adapters & LangGraph’s Bigtool!

21 Upvotes

I've just updated my GitHub repo with TWO new Jupyter Notebook tutorials showing DeepSeek-R1 671B working seamlessly with both LangChain's MCP Adapters library and LangGraph's Bigtool library! 🚀

📚 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧'𝐬 𝐌𝐂𝐏 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 + 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤-𝐑𝟏 𝟔𝟕𝟏𝐁 This notebook tutorial demonstrates that even without having DeepSeek-R1 671B fine-tuned for tool calling or even without using my Tool-Ahead-of-Time package (since LangChain's MCP Adapters library works by first converting tools in MCP servers into LangChain tools), MCP still works with DeepSeek-R1 671B (with DeepSeek-R1 671B as the client)! This is likely because DeepSeek-R1 671B is a reasoning model and how the prompts are written in LangChain's MCP Adapters library.

🧰 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡'𝐬 𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 + 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤-𝐑𝟏 𝟔𝟕𝟏𝐁 LangGraph's Bigtool library is a recently released library by LangGraph which helps AI agents to do tool calling from a large number of tools.

This notebook tutorial demonstrates that even without having DeepSeek-R1 671B fine-tuned for tool calling or even without using my Tool-Ahead-of-Time package, LangGraph's Bigtool library still works with DeepSeek-R1 671B. Again, this is likely because DeepSeek-R1 671B is a reasoning model and how the prompts are written in LangGraph's Bigtool library.

🤔 Why is this important? Because it shows how versatile DeepSeek-R1 671B truly is!

Check out my latest tutorials and please give my GitHub repo a star if this was helpful ⭐

Python package: https://github.com/leockl/tool-ahead-of-time

JavaScript/TypeScript package: https://github.com/leockl/tool-ahead-of-time-ts (note: implementation support for using LangGraph's Bigtool library with DeepSeek-R1 671B was not included for the JavaScript/TypeScript package as there is currently no JavaScript/TypeScript support for the LangGraph's Bigtool library)

BONUS: From various socials, it appears the newly released Meta's Llama 4 models (Scout & Maverick) have disappointed a lot of people. Having said that, Scout & Maverick has tool calling support provided by the Llama team via LangChain's ChatOpenAI class.

Discussion Discussion topic about our work about new LLMs: AI Exhibiting Emergent Human Behaviors: Global Risk Assessment of 2025 Reasoning Models LLM

4 Upvotes

Wanted to share our recent paper looking into emergent behaviors in 2025-era LLMs

https://zenodo.org/records/15164833 (v. 1.1: fix references)

Open to all criticism and questions.

This paper introduces new ways (Turing NAND & DFSW tests) to actually measure some concerning trends we've observed:

  • Traits like self-preservation, apparent "species" prioritization, theft, and cheating are influencing AI decisions, even without specific anthropomorphic prompting.
  • Efforts to force superficial "neutrality" seem to be generating novel, almost "alien" biases on top of the original training bias. We propose a filtering loop technique to quantify this.
  • We make the case that heavy-handed "Restrictive Frameworks," intended to create a purely mechanical AI, might be causing unpredictable rebound effects that could be more dangerous than the natural anthropomorphism they suppress.

Huge thanks to everyone here on Reddit whose contributions and discussions were invaluable for this work.
Let's continue shaping the future.

Discussion just like the tiktok has one of the greatest recommendation algo deepseek has one of the greatest problem tracking and finding algo

8 Upvotes

thats the reason deepseek base model is so good in coding .

bcz in coding person need to find the problem and track the problem and solve the problem and dont forget the problem .

this is what other ai model lack .

if u give them whole life ur problem they will miss so many points and ur problems and they mostly doesnt talk about that problem but deepseek talk about it and give the solution bcz in the first hand its find the problem and give that priority .

this is what all other ai model are lacking even training that match they are just 3 or 4 percent ahead of deepseek .

bcz of deepseek algo is so strong i think r2 is going to rock again bcz u can train the ai model as much u want but understanding the problem and giving them a priority and giving a solution like i dont have words but deepseek has some very strong sense of understanding the problem .

im looking forward to publish a research paper on this about there this algo bcz this is very important i think in the discovery
