Security, safety & abuse risks
- Service-side storage and logging can expose conversations and credentials; a DeepSeek database exposure was publicly documented in January 2025.
- Incorrect reasoning and generated code can cause downstream harm when used without independent validation.
- Tool-connected deployments can turn erroneous decisions into external actions unless permissions, sandboxing and approval gates constrain execution.
Known flaws & limitations
- The documented API interface is text-only, without native image or audio understanding.
- Reasoning tokens consume output capacity and are billed as output tokens.
- Published evaluations show substantial remaining errors on difficult knowledge and agentic tasks.
- The deepseek-reasoner alias is not an immutable checkpoint, limiting reproducibility without version tracking.
Security advisories & risk updates
No risk advisories logged since this profile started being tracked. New ones appear here automatically.
What this means if you are building on it
- Native image, audio or video understanding.
- Unsupervised high-stakes decisions requiring reliably correct answers.
- Autonomous execution with unrestricted access to production systems or credentials.
- Strictly reproducible deployments that rely only on a rolling API alias.
Everything here comes from published documentation, advisories and reporting, with links to the original sources. It is not a complete vulnerability database — always check the provider's own security notices before shipping.
