I'm having trouble using DeepSeek for tasks that require consistent performance. It often shows a 'server is busy' message, which makes it really unreliable for me, especially when I need it for more than just a couple of prompts. Are there any tips or alternative solutions?

You might want to try OpenRouter instead; they offer both free and paid options for API and chat services. It could give you a more stable experience than DeepSeek.
Remember that DeepSeek isn't the only player in the game. There are other resources offering similar capabilities. Microsoft and Perplexity, for example, are known for being more reliable alternatives if you run into issues with DeepSeek.
Honestly, they did a great job of promoting DeepSeek, but they haven't invested enough in hardware upgrades. That's why it feels so hit or miss. It's frustrating, especially when you need it to work consistently.
That's a bit off, right? The API's usually pretty solid, and they're running at a good profit margin. Sure, the chatbot costs them, but those who need stability already switched to the API. What gives?
