Frequently asked questions

Why does DeepSeek sometimes reverse decisions?+

DeepSeek may revert to previous decisions due to its processing limitations, particularly in maintaining context over extended interactions. This can occur when the context window is exceeded, leading to a loss of earlier agreements.

How can I ensure DeepSeek sticks to our agreed decisions?+

To maintain consistency, it's important to explicitly restate agreements throughout the conversation. DeepSeek's reasoning capabilities can sometimes lead to deviations if earlier context is not reinforced.

What should I do if DeepSeek contradicts itself?+

If you encounter contradictions, quote the specific statements that conflict. DeepSeek's training data may have gaps, leading to inconsistencies in its responses.

Can DeepSeek remember agreements across sessions?+

DeepSeek does not retain memory across sessions, so it's essential to re-establish agreements at the beginning of each interaction. This helps mitigate the risk of reversing decisions.

What are the limitations of DeepSeek in following instructions?+

DeepSeek's limitations include potential misinterpretations of instructions due to its reliance on patterns in training data, which can result in reverting to previous decisions if not clearly reinforced.
