DeepSeek-R1 is producing 400 errors when attempting to interact with it via PM, leading to a job exception. ▶ Backtrace This GitHub thread seems to present a possible solution. https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1/issues/21

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.

Is this after the first response?

It was actually working the other day. But now I get this error, before any response. [Screenshot 2025-01-28 at 16.41.02] 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?

official API, sorry should’ve made that clear!

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. [Screenshot 2025-01-28 at 19.29.16]

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.
