DeepSeek R1 is a new model and service that exposes
chain-of-thought to the user. You can use it live for free at
chat.deepseek.com, or via an API at
platform.deepseek.com that is currently significantly less
expensive than OpenAI o1. OR, simply click Judge Me to see what the model thinks about your user
agent, browser capabilities, and IP location headers. If you dare.
⚠️ Update 1/27 7:00 AM PST
Well it was good while it lasted. Shortly after this article was published, the DeepSeek API started having issues. Here’s the time since this article released: grey means the user got judged, red means failure.
And now, platform.deepseek.com is returning 404, and status.deepseek.com shows a red banner. Only one conclusion can be drawn: DeepSeek My User Agent has brought down DeepSeek 💀.
Check out the best judgements on Hacker News. They are prioritizing chat, so I’ve displayed the prompt below when you click “Judge Me” so you can just copy/paste it to chat.deepseek.com, a true DIY roast approach.
