Anyone here having much success with Deepseek R1? I’ve tried running a Qwen 14b locally and deepseek-reasoner via their APIs and I got everything up and running but I couldn’t get anything to build.
It was often executing things out of order, unable to install or missing packages, and not able to render any apps.
I tried Deepseek R1 via OpenRouter. It doesn’t seem to work very well with Bolt.diy. I was only able to get it to produce a ToDo app after going back and forth quite a bit. I tried several apps and it never produced a working app on the first try. It doesn’t seem to fix errors very well. Either they don’t get fixed or it fixes one to break another. I tried to do the simple Tic Tac Toe app and after several back and forth it finally gave up and produced html only code in the chat window and said run it in a browser.
The standard Deepseek coder is much beter IMO.
Yeah, same. I ended up using Claude to address errors and install all dependencies.
I also tried running Deepseek with Roo-Cline (Code) with similar results so I don’t think its unique to Bolt.diy
@thecodacus had some success:
But I am not sure if you @thecodacus used maybe the PR with the context optimization and not the main branch?
Yes I was using the new optimization PR.
but context optimization wont happen for the first message, it takes effect from the follow up messages
Ok, but its still strange then that all got problems and dont get good results, just you 
can you share your prompt please, so we can verify 
for me 1 solution is to specify 100% that its react and tailwind with the first prompt. then suddaly it worked.
cause then it is using the starter template, right? (see in the url “imported files …”)
