What types of questions is R1 better suited for?
It is better suited for math problems requiring multi-step analysis, logic problems, code debugging, and technical solution validation. It is recommended to provide the conditions, goals, and attempts already made, and request explanations of key judgments. If the task is only casual conversation or simple rewriting, a general-purpose conversational model can also meet the need.
How can I make R1's code debugging more useful?
Provide minimal reproducible code, complete error messages, the runtime environment, and expected results, and explain which checks have already been performed. You can ask it to first list fault hypotheses, then provide verification steps and a draft modification. Before applying suggestions to a project, run tests to confirm that no new behavioral changes have been introduced.
How do I call deepseek-r1 using the standard API?
Submit model=deepseek-r1 and messages to /v1/chat/completions. Read regular results from choices[].message.content; use stream to obtain incremental results for streaming calls. Use this platform's API Key, and set the complete base URL according to the SDK you use.
How do I continue analysis from the previous round?
Have the application save the message history, and include user and assistant messages relevant to the current question in messages. Prepare the problem, variable ranges, and an existing solution, and write out implicit conditions as well. When materials or constraints change, update them with the next request.
Can I be guaranteed to see R1's complete reasoning process?
You should not make an application's functionality depend on complete internal reasoning. You can ask R1 to provide solution steps, key assumptions, and verification methods to check answers; the client should primarily handle the response text. You can retain key assumptions and verification steps without requiring the application to depend on specific reasoning events.
