DeepSeek
DeepSeek publishes its weights and runs a cheap hosted API, so people often use it as a second opinion on a hard reasoning or coding problem when the first answer did not convince them. The reasoning traces can get long. Cap the length or ask for the final answer first, otherwise it thinks out loud for pages.

Where do you put standing rules for DeepSeek?
In Modelfile. It is read on every session, so anything you would otherwise paste into each message belongs there rather than in the conversation.
Do DeepSeek prompts work on other models?
Usually with changes. Every resource here records where it was tested and what to adjust elsewhere, and portable ones are filed under Universal.
Can DeepSeek run on my own machine?
Yes. Memory is the constraint: a 4-bit quantised model needs roughly 0.6 GB per billion parameters plus room for the context window.
