Reviews from Reddit, Product Hunt, Hacker News & AlignAI members

MIXED

this one, despite being blamed for censorship , was heavily censored only via DeepSeek API, the local model - full-weight 685B, not the distilled ones - was pretty much unhinged regarding censorship on any topic

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: local model usage

WORKED

Their current model often forgets or changes facts explicitly mentioned in the conversation which R1 never did.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: deep conversation and factual consistency

MIXED

It's better than R1 at math or coding, but nearly unusable for deep conversation.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: math, coding, and deep conversation

WORKED

Very good results with DeepSeek V3 that is extremely cheap.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: AI pentesting on an OpenAI-compatible endpoint

WORKED

DeepSeek - PASSED = 0% AI DETECTED

Reddit • Developer • Use case: Humanize text via modified system prompt to avoid AI detection

WORKED

the AI helped me alot in speed up of my development work.

Reddit • Developer/Solo Founder • Use case: Speed up app development work

WORKED

I can not make it public right now, otherwise my DeepSeek credits will be vaporized - My app tries a list of strategies

Reddit • Developer • Use case: Extract logo from any site URL for a secret project

WORKED

We went from spending about $3,200/month on AI API costs to roughly $1,900 for equivalent usage.

Reddit • Developer • Use case: Reduce AI API costs

WORKED

I built something different... 13 AI expert personas, each running on a different model (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Qwen, DeepSeek), debate it in front of you.

Reddit • Developer • Use case: Get critical feedback on startup ideas instead of generic AI praise

MIXED

DeepSeek got 87% right on first pass vs GPT's 95%. It's cheaper but needs retries.

Reddit • Solo Founder • Use case: Customer support SaaS AI migration

WORKED

It also includes free models (MiniMax, DeepSeek) which honestly cover 70% of my lighter workloads.

Reddit • Developer • Use case: Managing multiple LLM API costs and dashboards

WORKED

I proxy API calls to DeepSeek, OpenAI, etc. Real stuff people use it for: asking questions by voice while cooking, managing files hands-free.

Reddit • Solo Founder • Use case: Building local AI assistant app with cloud API integration

WORKED

I am building a low one-time payment software-ish app for restaurants and café's which would use deepseek api

Reddit • Solo Founder • Use case: Building restaurant/café app with AI automation features

MIXED

I got hundreds of ideas that sounded great but didn't really mean anything.

Reddit • Solo Founder • Use case: Generate solid SaaS ideas

WORKED

This actually somewhat matches the deepseek API pricing.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Generating tokens for coding/development

MIXED

I've seen something similar with Deepseek, generic answers start printing and then, in plain sight, removed and replaced with a non committal message.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Observing its answer generation behavior

WORKED

DeepSeek is the only one that offers and competition to it at that price point.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: general AI model use

WORKED

With DeepSeek this is all possible. An undocumented feature, great for harness builders.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Controlling chat template and tool calling syntax via API/system prompt

WORKED

If I'm thinking through a problem, I'll bat the idea around with Claude or Deepseek, asking them to provide alternative perspectives.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: thinking through problems and getting alternative perspectives

MIXED

sometimes when I run of the free quota I fallback to DeepSeek Perplexity.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: search engine fallback
