Is this after the first response?

It was actually working the other day. But now I get this error, before any response.
Sometimes “Error details” shows this, sometimes it just gives that 400 error

Is this via their official API or are you self-hosting the model?

I am also getting errors using the API. Seems like maybe it is timing out. Could be the model is under heavy usage now. Not sure.

There are many reports in the AI community that the DeepSeek API is mostly down after the recent boon in coverage in western mainstream media.

I also just now saw on their site some banner stating that their site is under heavy attack. So might just be a waiting game I guess.
