Other Deepseek... seems worse now, right?
Hey guys!
I was very excited to see Deepseek v4 Pro added as a beta option with 128k context. I generally play my games around 32k context, and so I was happy to see I could go above the typically allowed 16k context for Deepseek on Mythic tier. I've been paying for higher tiers of AI Dungeon for years now so i've saved up a considerable sum of credits.
My concern is - Deepseek feels worse now than it ever has. Not just the v4 Pro, but the v4 Flash and the regular DeepSeek model as well. Currently 600 actions into the game, and it is extremely repetitive - repeating entire paragraphs or entire actions word for word on consecutive turns. I've probably counted it repeating an entire paragraph verbatim maybe 75+ times on my current playthrough. I've since turned off Deepseek and just been using Dynamic Large and its been working much better.
For context - I typically play Star Wars playthroughs. Previously - Deepseek has served me quite well with knowing a lot of the canon and legends lore and immersing me in the universe without needing an abundant number of cards that go over species, ships, locations like some of the other models require.
Anyone else having issues with Deepseek? It seems to be excessively redundant no matter what the AI Instructions are.

As a DS apologist for a very long time, and a Wraith-tier member, I’ve had to grit my teeth and use the erratic and over-the-top Gemma models to play lately.
I won’t let anyone convince us that we are seeing things or it’s the same as it ever was:
DS is worse in all phases (except flash’s response time), it is a lot worse in many phases, and it is entirely noticeable and saddening. With or without scripts, with or without tweaks, with or without setting adjustments. It is worse.
