just a friendly reminder... sending data to Deepseek means it takes a little international vacation. So, yeah, maybe reconsider before uploading your personal info and tax returns. 😅

I have to say it again, DeepSeek R1 is mind-blowing! It's running locally on my M1 MacBook with LM Studio. Sure, it struggles a bit (mostly with memory, I think?) but now I'm walking around w/ a model more powerful than GPT-4o. AND it's open-source? Wild.

Prompt chaining is not the way. It's the Rube Goldberg machine of LLM workflows: fun to build, terrible to scale. It took us a while to figure out how to scale ML pipelines -- time to apply those lessons to LLM workflows.
