What is the relationship between deepseek-v3-250324 and DeepSeek-V3-0324?
The former is the model ID entered when making a call, while the latter is DeepSeek's publicly released native model name. It is a dated update of V3, with the same model architecture as the initial V3, but with improvements in writing, frontend development, reasoning, and function calling. It should not be confused with other dated V3 versions.
Where are its improvements in Chinese writing reflected?
The focus is on the style and content quality of medium- to long-form writing, as well as continuous multi-turn rewriting, translation, and letter writing. When using it, first specify the audience, writing style, and information that must be retained, then adjust the structure and wording round by round. Its style is closer to R1, but that does not mean it is an R1 reasoning model.
How do I call it and continue the previous conversation?
When using /deepseek/chat/completions, submit model and messages, and include the necessary history when following up. When choosing /aichat/conversations or /aichat2/conversations, you can enable stateful and then use the returned id to continue the same conversation.
Can it generate JSON or call business functions?
It supports JSON output and function calling. You can set response_format at the dedicated endpoint, or provide tools and function parameter definitions. The prompt should still specify field requirements; after receiving tool_calls, the application executes the function and submits the result, and business data needs to be validated.
Can it directly search the web or read PDFs?
It can analyze web results and document content prepared as text, but text analysis does not mean the model can independently access the internet or natively parse PDFs. When real-time information is needed, first retrieve the relevant content and then provide it to the model; when using conversation tools, distinguish between tool retrieval and model analysis as separate steps.
