DeepSeek models have such good benchmark performance, amazing pricing, and the team over there seems to be widely considered impressive.
I just haven't found them to be very good? I've had a ton more success with the GLM models (since 5.2 anyway). Maybe I'm just holding it wrong, DS models seem to get stuck in loops or tell me nonsense. GLM feels like budget Claude.
Are you using the API directly from Deepseek? Otherwise, performance will suffer greatly. If you're using OpenRouter make sure to pin Deepseek as the provider. If you're using OpenCode Go who knows who the provider is.
