An editorial reading of the saved reviews
Arguably the most capable model in the set, undermined by a recurring language-switching bug and a hard regeneration limit.

What people use it for
Researchers, students, and anyone who wants an AI that thinks rather than flatters.
What reviews praise
- Users appreciate the transparent 'thinking' mode that shows its reasoning, the depth of answers, and the fact that the model pushes back instead of just agreeing.
- Russian-language reviews describe real emotional conversations.
What reviews complain about
- The model frequently switches to Chinese mid-conversation and does not remember language preferences.
- A limit of 6 regenerations per conversation makes iterative work impossible.
- No line break support in the input field.
What users experience
3 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
I asked a clear question in English. The assistant processed my request, analyzed it, and even narrated its reasoning in English but then answered me in Chinese. That makes no sense. When I pointed it out, the assistant admitted it was a flaw but said it has no way to learn my language preference.
I love this app. It's very good, except when it isn't. It frequently replies in Chinese and I have to repeatedly ask for it to reply in English. It gets very frustrating. I usually just leave at that point.
DeepSeek is impressive, but the only things stopping me from using it daily are custom instructions and native file/image support, since it currently seems to rely on OCR instead of properly reading files and images directly.
