alt Hacker Newsi tried deepseek, while the model is good, when i use it with openrouter hosted ones the performance is poor. sometimes it takes 2x-3x the time it takes for openai or anthropic equivalent model, making it unusable. what is the performance others are seeing, which providers you use (i cant use china hosted models).

it took me awhile to find a reliable vendor, but they are def out there.
That's about what we've seen as well (even directly from deepseek themselves).
We've been using it for async "heartbeat" processing and sms replies, but it's just too slow for live chat replies (which is a shame, as I'd really love to use it there).
Very capable model, but also very slow.
