Transcripts

1. Introduction: So Deepsek has taken the artificial intelligence industry by the storm. In this current class, we are going to be diving into the application and the buildup of Deep Seek, understanding its core models and functionalities in which you are going to be equipped with exclusive, up to the market, up to the trend, insights and information and knowledge base to help you get up or running with Deep Seek with fraction of the time, getting you equipped with essential knowledge in terms of how to use Deep Seek for various applications and the key differences in its functioning as a language model, as an artificial intelligence model compared to other artificial intelligence models out that way, you have a clear idea how to use it, when to use it, and its court strengths, and the areas that it will help you excel in specifically within the current trend, within the current industry of artificial intelligence, and much more. All of these crucial milestones, we're going to be covering them in this current class. 2. Your Project: Your project for the class revolves around diving into Deep Seek and finding out the key differences between its various models, V three, R one, search capabilities, and combining all of them in order to refine your output in which you are going to be creating various outputs for comparison purposes, using its models based on a single prompt. You're going to take the same prompt, build it, craft it in the best way possible using the prompt engineering practices shared with you in this current class, and you are going to fine tune it through the integration of the various models, starting with V three, going into R one, combining it with the then you're going to be sharing your results with the rest of the community for feedback. 3. Setting Up Deepseek: Now, in order to get up and running with Deep Seek, we need to access Deepsek. The first thing that you need to do is go to the website which is depseek.com. Once you type in deeps.com, this is the main homepage, and you're going to have two main options over here. You got the Start now and you get the deepsk app. If you're using your mobile phone, once you click on this, you have the ability to download the deepsk application. And once you click on Start now, you have the ability to just simply jump into the interface. Using desktop, you'll notice that you have no ability to click on this, but you're able to click on the start now option. You have the ability to scan the QR code directly from your desktop to download it on your mobile phone. But as you go about beginning with Deep Sk, you're going to click on the Start button, and then you have a Deep Seek V three, which is the basic version or model for Deep Sk. But before we get to it, let's explore the main page. As you can see, Deep Seek has a clear table reflecting the capabilities of deepsk the models compared to other known models such as Cloud and GPT based on different criteria English, coding, mathematics, Chinese, since Deepsk is developed in China. So as you can tell, these are the basic comparisons across various parameters. Obviously, we're not going to get into that because it doesn't serve us any purpose at this current stage. So what we do right now, once we get to the landing page, we click on Start now. Once you dive in to deepsk and you click on Start now, you will be prompt to actually go ahead and sign up for Deepsk keeping in mind, since Deepsk has been getting a lot of attention, you will notice that sometimes the server will lag or it will show you that the server is busy. You do have the option either to go with email address or a login with Google. Here you got the option for phone number as well, and then you are good to go. So go ahead, take a moment to set up your account, and we are going to proceed up next with utilizing Deeps. 4. Exploring the Interface: Welcome back. So this is the first prompt window for Deep Sk. It looks quite similar to Chachi PT. I'm going to explore it before we actually get to the applications part. In addition to learning about the various models that you're going to be dealing with when it comes to using Deep Seek. So by default, when you are landing on this page, you got I am Deep Seek, and this is the prompt window. And you will notice by default, this is the Vo three or the V three option from Deep Seek, which is the basic model to be used. Here you got two options. You got the Deep think or one and the search option, we're going to be exploring every single one of them with details. But Depthk R one is the one which is getting a lot of hype recently because it goes into the expert mode, sort of speak to get you powerful results. Now, let's explore the interface. If you navigate to the left part, you open the sidebar and you have the ability to start a new chat, and then you have the ability to get the application and you can download it to a mobile phone once you click on New chat, you'll be prompted back to this window, and you are able to actually start engaging with deep Seek. So we're going to start off with a very basic prompt structure, and I'm going to show you some of the basic capabilities as we build up our level with using deep seek. Keeping in mind, I have the ability to toggle these options. Notice once I hover over Deep Seek or One, it says, use Deep seek or O to solve reasoning problems because this involves complex thinking. Over here, search the web when necessary very powerful. Why? Because you have the ability to get live information straight from the web as if you're using Google for search. Now, if you've been using hatGPT, you would notice that Chat GPT actually is trained. Even on the search model, it's part of an add on. You have to subscribe to the paid version to be able to search the data, and the search data is not live, it's not up to date. There's a certain cutoff period. So that being said, Deep C gives you the ability to search for data live information, website links. At the same time, conduct deep thinking, complex calculations as part of reasoning. It's part of the buildup of deepsk. For HAGPT, for example, even though you got GPT four oh and three and whatever model that you have for CHAT GPT, but the buildup or the architecture for JAGGPT is made up of different allocation for the resources. And the search feature is not innate. It's an add on. It's something that you add to the architecture. But as part of deepsk, this is part of it. So if you search for something, you have the ability to actually retrieve it. So I'm going to be showing you through the various usage for these models one step at a time. 5. Deepseek Downtime: Back. Now, this is an important lesson that we need to keep in mind. Since Deep Seek is quite free to use, you might experience some sort of service disruptions in case the servers are the servers are not able to handle it. So how do we go about identifying this in terms of what are the best timings to use Deep Seek as of now? Obviously, this might be solved in the future, but we need to pace our timings to know when could we use it and when it's facing problems and downtime to save us the trouble. So we go to the homepage, deeps.com and scroll all the way to the bottom. Take a look over here. Now, you got the various descriptions for the various models. You can explore that at your own. As for the products, you got Deepsk applications, Deep Seek chat, which is the one that we have right now, Deep Seek platform, the APIs, and the servers status. You click on the server status. This will take you to the following page. You could subscribe to the updates. You'll get notified on your email with all of the updates, but notice what's going on over here. Deep Seek performance is being affected since there are a couple issues taking place with lots of traffic, scroll all the way down. Notice what you got over here. Take a look at this. Now the performance as of now, this is the red area, it shows you that there is some sort of downtime, major outage for how long partial outages has been running perfectly. Everything is perfectly fine. But this is expected because the Deep seek artificial intelligence model has been launched and it's taken the artificial intelligence industry by the storm within the past couple of days and weeks. So it's an influx of users to the servers. That's why the current outage is justified. So the green bars reflect that the servers are up or running, but here there's an outage. And the major outages has taken place for over 24 hours so far. So if you've been using Deepik and you tend to find the description to show you that servers are busy, try again later. Take a look at the service status. That way, you have a clear idea if they are facing any technical issues or there's any downtime. 6. Deepseek V3 Vs Chatgpt: Seen a basic overview of Deep Sk interface, and the basic model is deep Sk V three. This is the basic model, we just simply when you land on Deep Seek, they're going to be using as part of the interface. So in this current lesson, we're going to understand its features, the Deep Sk V three model compared to CHAD GPT, as well. That way you have a clear idea when to use every single model. So over here, we got a table. We get the features, we go Deep Sk V three, and we got HATGPT. First of all, for general knowledge, deepsk V three gives you up to date information such as current events trends. It has live search feature capabilities. We've seen on the interface, you have the ability to click on search, and literally like Google is able to fetch live information. However, for CHAD GPT, let's say for the free version, you don't have the ability to do so. And for the paid version, the subscription, you have the ability to search, but there's a cutoff period, usually, which is September 2023 could change, but there's a certain time frame because as part of the architecture for hATGPT, it doesn't have the search capabilities compared to Deepsk. As for coding and programming, Deep Seek V three specialized in Chinese tech ecosystems, for example, Anibaba, Cloud, wich hat, and API. Since it has been developed in China, it knows all of the coding used within the region. It's familiar with that. However, for Chad GPT, it has a strong general programming approach to Python Javascript and open source tools. But it's important to note that even Deepsek has the ability to take into account Python JavaScript, even better than had GPT. But the thing is, we're focusing on the key distinguishing factors. As for creativity, it's optimized for Chinese cultural context, if you're trying to come up with certain themes, songs, idioms or trends, it will draw some inspiration from the context it has been developed in. Cha Ji PT, on the other hand, since it has been developed on the Western culture, you got the western centric stories and analogies. Based on the geographic location, every single one of them has been developed in a certain region, right? So the model has been trained by individuals living in those regions. That's why you tend to find that the creativity or the cultural impact is fused in the training process. As for the math and logic, Deeps is very powerful. It's competitive and problem solving with focused on practical applications, especially when you click on the R one model, like you put it on overdrive. It goes for the practical applications and the analysis like little calculations. I will show you how you go about the thinking process that we're going to see once we dive into using the R one model. As for a Chad GPT, it's strong in the theoretical part and step by step applications. But the actual calculations, it falls behind slightly a bit. I've tried ChanPT for mathematical calculations, I will show you the sequence, the logical steps that you need to follow to solve the problem like step one, do the step two, subtract that. But once it goes about the calculations, it falls behind. Literally, it could conduct false calculations, wrong conversions, and give you wrong results. But you find the deep seek to be stronger than that as for language support, Deep Seek prioritizes Chinese fluency, localization in the form of the slang, the writing terms used, it's drawn from that background. As for haGEPT, it has more multilingual support, but less nuanced for the Chinese language since both of them are developed in different parts of the world. So this means the training has been conducted with different approach when it comes to languages. But both of the Beep Seek and ChaGPT, they are powerful in terms of language support. But like I mentioned, these are small tweaks differentiators to keep in mind as you go about either using Deepsek or ha GPT. As for the user experience, the process is streamlined for technical and business queries such as data analysis and APIs. Since Deep Seek focuses on the technical applications, coding, mathematical calculations, you tend to find that businesses lean heavily into it and technical queries, such as coding. However, Chad GPT is more generic, it's more conversational with focus on general purpose dialogue, list, create, respond to an email, write an article. These are some basic applications that you don't need sophisticated or in depth technical knowledge. As for the integration, Deepsk has been designed for the enterprise use cases, literally businesses they need the power of technical analysis, such as cloud services, deboPs and workflows, Deepsk V three, the free model can deliver those as for Chat GBT, it's best for a personal educational use and third party app integrations. Something basic doesn't need so much technical in depth analysis. You can use Chat GPT for it based on the applications at hand. If you're going for something mathematical, engineering base, and whatnot, go for Deep Seek. If you're going for something which is conversational, summarizing, finding errors, grammars, comparing, for example, responding to certain features or emails, whatever it is, you can go for Chat GPT. Response style is concise, technical, and task oriented, literally. Once you go about deep seek, as we're going to be saying for various applications, the response is more of straight to the point. Less fluff in terms of the language, straight to the point. Bullet points, short paragraph, short summary gets you to the result in the less number of steps as possible. However, for chat GPT, more verbals, explanatory and narrative. You tend to find once you go about Cha GPT, most problem that explains and talks and tries to provide words to provide some sort of a mood, a context rather than being quite too technical or formal speak. You have the ability to tinker with the tone of Cha GPT, which Deep seek lacks behind in that case. These are some core differences in terms of deep Seek V three, the model, which is the basic version, the basic model versus ChaGPT, the basic model as well, not the paid subscription. Once you go about dealing with deep Seek, you have a clear idea. Are the areas of strengths? What are the areas of weaknesses such that you can decide you go for deepsk for this application or for CHAD GPT. But there are the other models such as the R one model, which is the powerhouse of Deepsik which we are going to be discussing as well. 7. Deepseek R1 Vs Chatgpt: Now the other model that we have for deep seek is the deep seek R one. The previous model, the basic one is V three, and this one is R one, which is the deep thinking. Model. Both of them are free, by the way, but this one is more powerful and for specialized purposes. Let's take a look at it as for deep Seek R one, we're going to follow the same analysis compared to HAGPT. For the technical focus, deep Sk R one is optimized for technical queries. Notice it's always about technical parts when it comes to deepsk such as coding, math, data analysis, and engineering where you need calculations. ChaGPT on the other hand is for general purpose, dialog and creativity, articles, reading, comparisons, brainstorming. It all stems from the difference in their model architecture. Since deep Seek is MOE, mixture of experts. Focuses on certain resources to solve a certain problem. However, CHAT GPT is dense. It's dense. It means it covers all the resources for any analysis before coming up with an output. So we tend to find that deep seek works best for technical queries because you need to focus on the experts sort of speak, expert resources for certain engineering applications, mathematical applications. However, Chat GPT, since it goes through all of its training resources to come up with an answer, it's better suited for general purpose dialogue and creativity applications. As for decoding support, you tend to find that Deep Seek RO specializes in tech ecosystems, but it's still Python, Java, GML, it dominates on that area as well. JAGGPT better for global frameworks as Python JavaScripts, and react. Both of them, we have those capabilities. But you tend to find that Deepsk has the ability to debug codes easily, even write codes without bugs in the first place. But if you try HADGPT for writing a piece of code, times you notice that once you try to run the code, you find errors and bugs. And if you try to reiterate the process, it might be time consuming. So for coding, you tend to find deep seek to have the positive or the upper hand in that case. As for math logic, for deep Seek, it prefers or prioritizes step by step problem solving for stem topics like science, technology, engineering, mathematics. As we see with deep Seek are one, literally, it shows you the thinking process of the model before giving out the answer. As for Chat GPT, just simply gives you the answer. But for deep seek R one, you get to see the thinking process as you go through it and once you go through the thinking process, you're able to find errors in this and you're able to reiterate the process. That's very powerful. Now for Cha GPT, there's strength and theoretical explanations, but less optimized for niche technical tasks. This is very true because hA GPT if you use it for any technical aspects such as engineering, mathematics, sciences, it will give you the explanations for the theory, right, steps, sequences, analysis. But when it comes to the pure calculations like lural calculations, it falls behind. It makes mistakes. As for the language fluency, you tend to find both of them, they are fluent in languages. Some of them are leaning, let's say, deep seek towards the cultural context, generated from, and deep Seek also from the cultural context, haGGPT from the cultural context it was generated from compared to Deep Seek. So the training has been conducted by individuals. So obviously, there is an influx of different backgrounds in the model as part of the training. As for the response style, you tend to find a deep seek. It doesn't have some sort of a mood or a certain tone to it. It's concise, structured and task oriented. You cannot tell if it's using a friendly tone, serious tone, professional tone, but with chat GPT, it's more conversational. So you have the ability, as you get to learn about prompt engineering practices, you're able to change the tone. For example, write an email in a professional tone in a friendly tone in a formal tone. Chat GPT has the upper hand in that case. As for the up to date knowledge, this is a very important part. Deepsk R O has access to fresher data. 2023, 2024, trends, tools, and APIs because it has the ability to search live for the information. However, for HA GPT, there's a cutoff period. It's like a model. You give information, you train it, you cut off the information. Then you give another source of information, you train it again, then you cut off the information. But for Deep Seek, it's live. Just like searching on Google, you tend to find something by typing, Deepsk can do the same thing. As of the usage cases for enterprises, you tend to find Deep Seek for business and technical workflows. However, HAG GPT is for personal, educational use and creative projects. This explains the difference because Deep Seek is built on a mixture of experts model, focused resources for focused tasks. CHAD GPT, all resources, depending on the prompt, are going to be used to help you with your task. As for creativity, Deep Seek one is focused on practical outputs such as reports, coding, calculation, sequence of steps, analysis, data analysis, more of a technical part. However, for chat GPT, it excels in storytelling analogies and open ended ideation because it has all the resources being used for that specific problem. So it doesn't allocate certain context to it. It uses all the resources with all contexts to get information to help you with your application. So that's why we tend to find that it's more open ended with the ideas and their creativity and the options and the conversational style with chat GPT as you go about typing it. However, with deep Seek, since once you give it a prompt, it focuses on a resource or a couple of resources, which are called as experts to help you answer that question in the best way possible. So deep Seek R one is considered to be more the deep thinking analysis. Of deep seek to help you conduct sophisticated technical analysis. Think about mathematics, calculations, data reports, data analysis, engineering practices, practical calculations, financial calculations, all of these things which require technical expertise. Deep Seek will help you out because Chad GPT will show you how to do them like the steps in theory, but to conduct a calculation where one plus one equals to, for example, you'll tend to find HAGPT will have an issue if the calculations get quite too complicated, where you do have a lot of conversions, a lot of steps in the process. Like we have mentioned, Deep Seek has a bigger one, two, eight K tokens, conversational window, it has the ability to retain more information as you go through the conversation with it, which helps it in the technical calculations part. However, hATGPT, the limit is smaller. So let's say it slips on the information along the way. That's why it affects its calculation capabilities. 8. Powerful Deepseek Search Capabilties: Important to highlight the search capabilities, this topic is often overlooked when comparing deepsk and CHAT GPT. When you are using Google, for example, you go in and top a keyword and you're able to find certain links and websites, right? If you go on HAGPT, the free version, you cannot do this. For the paid version, GPT four, for example, the add on as part of the subscription, you have the ability to search, but it's not part of the buildup of the architecture of hATGPT, so the information that you're getting is not actual live data. However, with Deepseek the story is different. Let's see how. In terms of the search capabilities for DeepsekRO, accessing the web is real time. Once you go on the search, click on it. As part of the prompt window, click on search. It means go ahead and get information live right now. However, with change GPT, for the free version, you don't get it. For GPT four, there's a combination with Bench, and you're able to get information, but it's unstable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't it has been discontinued for a period of time. But with GPT four, the subscription model, you're able to actually search, but the information is not reason. The website could be down, but the information is still out of date. Deep Seek will get you the live data. Think about it like you're using a search engine, the same way. For Chat GPT, the search has been trained to give you the data it has stored over a period of time, so to speak. Data freshness for deep Seek, you can retrieve live information, for example, 2024. But for chat GPT, limited to pre 2022, data less using Ben for live updates, like I've mentioned, has been discontinued for a period of time. It's quite unstable in that case. So GPT, hat GPT. Even for search features, it doesn't get you real live data. It's also trained because it's like an add on, it's architecture. However, with deep seek, it's within the architecture. It has the ability to fetch live data. As for technical queries, deep seek is optimized for coding, math, and live data. This is the core functionality of Deep sik in terms of using it. If you're planning to go for Deep sik, you got something related to coding, mathematics, anything with calculations, searching for live data, deepsk will help you out. As for creative elements such as storytelling, writing, marketing campaigns, ideation analysis, which is quite generic and theoretical, you can go for the hATGPT application, keeping in mind, you will not have the same search capabilities for live data compared to Deep sk. But obviously, hATGPT still can get you information, but the information freshness is not as fresh. Now, this could be changed in the future. This could be modified. Still, the whole thing is kind of live. And we are sharing the latest information, the latest trends in terms of artificial intelligence for Deep Seek and CHAD GPT, as of now, to help you get up to speed and up or running with the market trends and shifts. That way, you're getting equipped with the expertise and skills to help you stand out in such a market with fraction of the time. As you're watching this course, this is the first course actually to go about the entire subject with details. That way, you're saving time, saving effort, trying to acquire such expertise in a rapidly evolving industry and market. So at this current stage, you have a clear idea about the strengths, weaknesses of Deep Seek and HAGPT and how they compare with each other and the various models for Deep Seek that you could use, as well as their own limitations and strengths. That way, when you are trying to use any of these models, deepsk HAD GPT, whatever it is, you have a clear idea. Take a look at your application. What do you need to do? And based what you have learned so far, you have a clear idea which one that you need to use, whether deepsk or HAGPT. 9. Prompt Engineering Practices Part-1: Now we're going to be diving into the prompt engineering practices when you are engaging with Deep Seek. Since it's based on the NLP format for engaging with the artificial intelligence model, we need to use prompts, and there are certain ways to go about creating the prompts. First of all, when you are dealing with deep Seek, we do have a series of prompt Jing best practices with some examples to help you understand how to interact with it. Even if you're a complete beginner, this will guide you. First of all, be as clear and specific as possible. Why? Because vague prompts they lead to vague answers. How does that look instead of saying, tell me about AI, this is the prompt. Instead of putting this prompt on Deep Seek, go ahead and use a better prompt, which is explain how AI is used in healthcare diagnostics with examples. Always be specific and be action based. Explain, write, elaborate. This is part of being clear and specific. Provide context. This is very important. Why? Context helps the AI tailor its response to your needs. And what does that look like? Instead of saying, what is the best marketing strategy? Logically, if you're speaking to someone, you tell them what is the best marketing strategy? You need to provide more contact, more information. So a better alternative, a better prompt would be I run a small ecommerce store selling handmade jewelry. This is the context, the background information. What's the best marketing strategy to reach millennials on Instagram? Notice how specific it is. I started off by giving a context to explain the background story. Then you provide the instruction. What would you like it to do? That way you get finer results with minimal iterations. Now, we do have a sequence of prompt engineering practices that we need to get out of the way, and these are the first two. 10. Prompt Engineering Practices Part-2: Continuing to step by step instructions. This is very powerful and often overlooked. When you're creating a prong, first of all, make sure that you break it down two steps to ensure a thorough response as you are trying to think out loud, input the prompt as the process of thinking out loud to help you get better results. So how does that look like? Instead of saying, how do I start a business? This is very vague, very generic. Why not go for, provide a step by step guide to starting restaurant business. That's one part. That's the first step, second step, including legal requirements, that's two. Tools, three, and marketing tips, that's four. So as you layer your steps, get me step number one, then step number two, then three and four, in one prompt, you have the ability to actually get the answer from one shot. Then you got the specifications for the format. Why? The AI can tailor its output to preferred structure. So what kind of format would you like the answer to be? Detailed explanation, brief summary, bullet points, that's the format. So instead of saying, explain photosynthesis, very generic. Why not go for explain photosensesis in three bullet points with simple language for a 10-year-old. So here you've gotten some context, you've gotten the requirement, the action based, and that's the format. The bullet points. You could go for a summary paragraph, three lines or a full article. So this is the format that you would like the answer to be, which is part of prompt engineering practices. Now let's transition to other prompt engineering practices that you need to be familiar with. 11. Prompt Engineering Practices Part-3: Continuing two of the most important prompting practices that you need to be equipped with constraints, which is often overlooked. Set limits set boundaries for the model to help you engage at a level that you would like the output to cover, crossing a certain point, certain word limit, certain number of lines and such forth. So constraints, they help focus the response and avoid irrelevant information. For example, instead of saying, write a story, this is a prompt. Obviously, there are no limits, how many pages how many words, how many lines, how many paragraphs. These are constraints which should be part of your problem. So use a 200 word story about a robot learning to paint with a happy ending. So I've given it the context, context context plus the constraint. The constraint is the boundary. So you give it the context what you're trying to do, what you're trying to achieve. And then you put a framework which is the boundary. Do not cross a certain line, do not cross a certain number of words, a certain paragraph, a certain page limit, and whatnot. Even the tone, maintain a professional tone, avoid a formal tone, and all of these are considered to be constraints. Also, this is a bit of a prompt engineering practice. Ask for multiple options. Once you go for a prompt, in order to save you time and effort of trying to reiterate and get the same response over and over again in a feedback loop, why not ask for multiple options from the first go? For example, this will help us get diverse ideas or solutions to choose from. For example, instead of saying suggest a business. One idea. Why not? Suggest three low cost, fast to lunch business ideas in the education sector, for example, or in the hospitality sector, or in the restaurant, business sector, whatever it is. So that way, you have a clear idea. What are you trying to achieve? What are you trying to actually get out of the problem? One option, two options, three options, four options. I'll give another example. Suggest four ecofuel friendly cars, for example. That's what I'm saying, suggest an ecofuel friendly car, and then give another option. Give me another option and you repeat that prompt over and over again, you can get this done with a single prompt from the get go. These are some solid engineering practices. So far, we have covered a series of them up to this current stage, and we got more to cover up next. 12. Prompt Engineering Practices Part-4: Now there are additional key prompt engineering practices that we need to be equipped with in order to make sure that we're getting the best out of deeps. First of all, we need to make sure that we're using examples. Sometimes when you are trying to use a prompt, often you dive into typing, right? But you could have some pieces of information, a soft copy of an article 0R a screenshot or basically a table that you upload or a reference or a certain example of a tone that you could add to the prompt. How does that look like? Of all, why do we need to do this? Examples help the AI understand your expectations to save the number of iterations. Instead of saying, write a professional email, you're going to say, write a professional email, that's the action to a client explaining a two week project delay, which is the context. Example, tone, this is the example of the tone that you're trying to use, polite and apologetic. So this way, you're able to showcase the narration to the deep seek artificial intelligence model instead of trying to reiterate again and again based on the output from the Get go. Give it examples, give it the action, give it the context on the spot. And then once you do so, obviously, you might need to still iterate and refine. This is part of the process considered to be a feedback loop. Why do we do this? Because the first response might not be the perfect one, especially if you are training the deep Sik model for the first time or your own application. So you need to refine your prompt for better results, and how do you do so? So if the response is too broad, add constraints. Focus on the technical aspects only. This is a constraint. So instead of keeping a generic, when you get the feedback from Deep Seek, add a constraint, certain word limit, certain tone, certain format, in order to get better results. If it's too technical, ask for simplification. Explain this in layman's terms. So you could actually change the output that you're getting from Deep Seek by adding an iteration and refining simply by telling it, minimize the technical output or summarize it or simplify it or focus on certain element and ignore another element. In addition to using examples, and by the way, you could layer the prompt engineering practices where you use examples, use context, use constraints, iterate and refine all of them within a single prompt. But these are the key layers as part of proper prompt engineering practices, and we are not done yet. We got a couple important ones that you need to be familiar with. That way, when you dive into the application for Deep Seek, you have a clear idea how to construct powerful prompts to get the best powerful output, harnessing the technical power of Deep Seek. 13. Prompt Engineering Practices Part-5: Now moving on to some of the most powerful prompt engineering practices, and one of them, which is the role playing, leveraging the role playing by itself, if you use such a prompt tactic, you will get really powerful results. Why? Assigning a role helps the AI tailor its tone and expertise, and you could try this with deep seek since the whole architecture is made up on the mixture of experts. Once you give a certain role to play, by default, you will minimize the effort it takes to channel to that specific resource. This is advanced, and this is still new and we are quite ahead in terms of teaching you such powerful tactics to leverage the technical power of deep seeek. So how do we go about this? Instead of saying explain block chain, we're going to say, you are a tech journalist. This is what we call as priming role priming, making it think as if it's a certain role. A certain expert, by default, Deep Seek will pick up that specific resource saving time in the iteration process. Explain block chain to a non technical audience in three paragraphs. We've given it the action. What do we need to do? The context and the constraint in addition to the role. Notice how many layers as part of the prompt engineering practices we included in a single prompt. That's very powerful. You could test it at experiment as part of the process as well by changing the roles or by changing the constraints. Different phrasings can yield different results, simply changing from three paragraphs simply changing from three paragraphs to nothing changes the whole output completely or changing the specialization. You are a tech journalist, change it to something else. You get a different output. So that way, you are trying variations. And by trying variations, you could have different outputs based on your own preferences. For example, what are the benefits of AI and education? How can AI improve learning outcomes in schools? These are different questions that you are asking. These are different iterations. These are different applications within the same context. And that way, when you get results, you're able to find your results. Better and better as you are engaging with deep Seek. That way, when you're adding layers and layers to your own communication with Deep Seek, using prompt engineering practices, you have the ability to actually get the best outputs and harness the power that you have with deep seek, the technical power that it has. Now let's move on to other important prompt engineering practices. Use action oriented language. Explain, do, sort, plan, create, and these are the verbs that you use. Direct prompts lead to actionable responses. Instead of what is content marketing, create a five step content marketing plan for a new fitness application. Very specific. You got the context, you got the action based verb at the beginning of the prompt to do so. And then you do have combination of tasks. This is very powerful and this is often overlook. This will save you time by bundling related requests. Instead of communicating again and again and again with the artificial intelligence model, you can bundle all of the tasks in a single prop. So how do you go about this? Instead of saying, write a blog outline, now write the introduction very fragmented. You could say, write a blog outline on AI in Education. That's one. Including 100 word introduction, that's too. So these are two tasks. One for the blog and one for the introduction. You can add more. Include a 200 word conclusion, include a copy of an article that will be posted or published afterwards as much as you'd like to add in terms of the tasks. Simply add a comma, add the task, add a comma and add the task, and that way, you're able to create one solid prompt from the get go. Well, we're not done yet. We got more important practices in terms of prompt engineering that you need to be familiar with. Ask for resources and citations. This is very important. As you are going about technical prompts, you need to ensure accuracy and credibility because at the beginning of the training of the model, mistakes do happen. So in order to just simply avoid using information as is, always ask for citations. For example, instead of saying, explain climate change, just simply say, explain climate change and cite three reliable resources. Specifically when you're using deepsk, it has live search capabilities. So if it's able to find the information, pick it up from the web on the spot, this increases the credibility of the information since it's quite fresh and recent. Then we have what we call as the positive and negative examples where you direct the response of Deepseek by saying, Do like this, don't do like that. So you give an example to follow or an example to avoid. So this will help you clarify what you want or don't want to do. And how do you implement this? Instead of saying write a product description, you're going to say, write a product description for smartwatch. Example of what I like sleek design, seven day battery life, avoid overly technical jargon. So you are directing it by simply including the word follow example of what you like, or example of what you should follow or follow this as an example, avoid this as an example. So that way you're putting deep seek in its lane. Adding a prompt, give it an example, give it constraints, layering with a certain role, and then you add some sort of context, and that way you add an example and something to avoid and something to follow. That way, you get full proof prompt engineering practices to get the best results even from the first go, and we're not done yet. We've got some important practices that you need to be following as well. One of the most important ones is actually not to keep the loop open. As part of prompt engineering, it's a feedback process, so close the loop with a call to action, direct the AI to conclude effectively what it should do at the end of the prompt. Instead of saying explain time management, which is vague and generic. Explain time management techniques and end with three actionable tips for students, for example. These are quite straightforward. It shows the end result for the AI model. That way, it has a clear idea how to navigate to it. And finally, this is where you harness the power of deep Seek through using or leveraging technical expertise. Deep Seek Excels coding. That's one. Math. And technical tasks. So use precise technical language for these queries. If you're using a certain code, use the language of the code, Python, HTML, mention it in the prompt. If you're using mathematics, mention the nature, algebra, calculus. If you're doing something related to engineering, what kind of engineering included in the prompt? Because this is the powerful part of deep seek and you don't want to fall behind as you're getting the best out of it. And then you have localized contexts. So if you query evolve Chinese tech or culture, specify. Explain we chat mini programs for beginners. Now, since Deep Seek is actually developed in China, you have the ability to actually use localized context with a couple of clicks, and this applies to other regions as well in which you use familiar applications, popular applications, popular tools as a reference. For example, create a marketing campaign for Instagram. Or we chat or Facebook, whatever it is. And Deepsek has the ability to navigate the web and get some important information about the popular platform based on the context that you're at. So at this current stage, you have been equipped with about 15 plus prompt engineering practices that you could use collectively or separately in order to get the best output from Deepsk. 14. Deepseek V3 Demonstration: Come back. Now we're going to get to the practical part of learning about Deep Seek, where we're going to actually tinker with Deep Seek and explore the various options that we could have. So once we navigate to Deep Seek right now, this is the prompt window that we have in front of us. We're going to start with a very basic prompt by saying, write a blog post about the importance of Wellness. Now, I'm using at this stage the V three model. This is the basic model of deep Seek. Let's click Enter. Now, keeping in mind, make sure that when you're using Deep Seek at this current stage, actually, to use timings when there's no peak loads to avoid any discontinuity of the service. Take a look at the response that you're getting from deep Seek. As you could tell, it's directly getting to the point by creating the blog post, where it's breaking it down actually into the structure of a typical block post straight from the first go. Addition to sharing some important details towards the end of it as part of the prompt response, the first thing that comes to attention is how extensive is the response that you would notice it includes a lot of details like the window that you have in terms of the tokens. Take a look at the amount of explanation that you're getting based on the output, including furthermore details in addition to insights drawn by the artificial intelligence directly where you go through the blog post and take a look at this segment over here. It closes out the blog post, and it actually includes key elements as a wrap up on the block post from the get go, simply by telling it, I would like to go with the blog post. So it follows the natural rhythm of things. Now, if you explore this final segment, what does wellness mean to you? Share your thoughts and tips in the comments below? We'd love to hear how you're embracing wellness in your life. Notice the segment over here. Why did this come up? Because from the get go, I gave it a very basic prompt to write a blog post. So since it's action oriented and it's very technical, it develops the strategy to go from the beginning of a prompt to the final result in the best way possible. Saving you the whole iteration and back and forth communication, keeping in mind, I did not apply any of the best practices of prompt engineering. Now, if you could experiment with this and you could incorporate, let's say, personalization where you act as a writer, for example, you change the prompt, and you can just simply mention that act as a professional writer and write a blog, for example, you know that the result is completely different. Now, what I would like to show you in this current lesson is the layers of the application. So you start off with the V three option, which is the basic option, which is perfectly fine, right? Now, as you transition to further complicated tasks, we need to learn how to go about the Depth and the search variations. And this is where we are going to build up on things. So the first level is the V three option where you go about creating a prompt. It could be anything. We're going to see the various applications for Deep Seek, where you could use it in mathematics, engineering, and whatnot. But for demonstration purposes, this is the starting point. Feel free to actually go ahead on Deep Seek and try to include some prompt from your own site, try to experiment with it and go through the response to avoid wasting time reading the entire blog post. You can do this by yourself, and you could actually experiment with other applications. Now, starting off with V three, we're going to take it one level further where we're going to incorporate the deep thinking procedure, the R one, which is coming up next. 15. Deepseek R1 Demonstration: And welcome back. In the previous lesson, we just simply went through Deep Seek, starting off with the V three model and we have started the prompt interface with a basic prompt to write a blog post about the importance of wellness. Now, look what I'm going to be doing. If you click on Deep think over here, now we're going to take it into a technical aspect of deep Seek. And what I'm going to be doing right now, I'm going to level it up even more by adding an additional prompt and to show you the key differences in terms of V three and Depth. So this is the prompt that we have had right now, right? Write a blog post about the importance of wellness. I'm going to copy this again for you to see the difference, and I'm just simply going to be pasting it right now. Here we go. Now, notice the difference they're going to be getting in the results. Exactly the same prompt, but simply activated Depth. Here we go. If you click Enter, notice what's going on. You got thinking, and this is the powerful part about deep seek. It shows you how it's actually going through the thought process of replying to your prompt. Take a look at this. Okay? The user asked me to write a blog post about the importance of wellness. Again, wait, didn't you just ask that before? Let me check the history. Looking back, the previous interaction was indeed the same request. The user wanted a blog post on wellness and I provided a detailed with sections like pillars of wellness, importance and tips, now they're asking again, why? See how detailed the thought processes. Maybe they want a different angle or perhaps more depth, or maybe it's a different user with the same query, but considering the context, it's probably the same user. This is very, very powerful. So once you activate Depth, you're able to actually see the back end process, let's call it the thinking process of the artificial intelligence model, as well as how long it took. See how fast it is 22 seconds it was able to actually go ahead and comprehend the query, even though it's quite vague and broad. And analyze and come up with a response to what I've asked it to do. So if you take a look at the response that has shared, feel free to just simply pause the lesson and go through it with detail just simply to understand the process of deep thinking one, how it's going at the back end, behind the scenes before giving you the end result. Now, if you take a look at the response, the first part and the second part, you will notice there will be some slight differences, if you take a look at, let's say, the multidimensional impact of wellness, scroll to the top it's not here, right? It just simply starts with the importance of wellness, then what is wellness, the pillars of wellness. If you scroll down even more, you'll find out that we have wellness really means the multidimensional impact of wellness. Notice that the response is more detailed. It's more sophisticated. It includes more details, as well as more structure, more content to it, as well as some practical steps to prioritize our wellness. And further, let's say we find result. From the same prompt. This is the V three version, and this is using the R one version, the deep think. And this is an application related to creativity. The true power shows when you are going through technical calculations as we are going to see in the applications part, you will be surprised how refined the answer is. So we have layered our response, starting off with V three. Then we went into deep thinking. Now let's take in one level further. 16. Combining The AI Models and Search Capabilities: And welcome back. So what we're going to be doing right now, we're going to take it one level further from the R one model in which we are going to actually take the same prompt as is to show you the difference in terms of its capability. So I'm going to copy and paste the same prompt over here. Now, the difference would be, I'm going to engage now Deep think RO, at the same time, the search feature. So what does that mean? So when I click on Deep think RO, it's going to add extra level of technical analysis. That's one. And when I click on the search, it's going to search the web when it's necessary to find some different pieces of information. So I'm going to be using exactly the same prompt as there is no difference whatsoever, but for you to understand how could you utilize it for your own application to differentiate the output. So let's click Generate. So once we click on Generate, it's going to go through the thinking process, keeping in mind that sometimes the server gets quite loaded with the prompts. So if you find the server is down, it means it has been getting a lot of traffic. But as of now, the service is up and running and you're able to get the response on the spot. So first of all, it's going to engage the R one model, and it's going to show you the thinking process as you are going to be so, okay, I need to write a blog post about the importance of wellness. Let's start by understanding what wellness really means. So you can go through the thought pattern for deep seek as it builds up the response. And once you spot something which is wrong, for example, along the way, you can stop it and then you could fine tune your prompt again, which is something that you could do better compared to Chat GPT, where you just simply input a prompt and you get the result then you reiterate. So as we're going through about this, what you would notice is that the thought process is quite extensive compared to the previous one. So now it's including more of a technical in depth analysis and giving you the block post compared to the basic V three model. So if you take a look at the previous response that we have gotten, you would notice that the block post that we have obtained includes some sort of details, but it doesn't dive into further analysis. So once you engage the deep think R one, you're going to activate the process of the extra layer of analysis, which is very powerful for coding and mathematical applications. Once we get to the applications of deep seek, you will see how powerful this is. Could apply to other creative approaches as well if you'd like to get more fine tuned results. And the search feature, this is where deep Seek acts like a search engine. So as you take a look at the final output, you notice there are some key differences in terms of the analysis part where the actual blog includes the information from the previous output, but it will add up some layers to it. What I mean by layers, it means going to add up some more deep thinking analysis if you take a look at, for example, the myths, reality and the simple steps for your wellness journey and the conclusion, it includes more in depth analysis. And it can use the search feature because the search feature is going to be live, by the way. So you're going to take a look at the live web resources like a search engine to help you find tune the output even further when necessary. This is very powerful. So what I'm going to be doing right now, since I have the search feature activated, I'm going to just simply add the actual links into the blog post. Let's take a look at this. Include the latest updates on the topic. Within the blog post and provide the links. So what I'm going to be doing right now, I'm directly targeting the search feature where I'm going to be asking the Deep seek model to actually find the latest updates on the topic from the web. So within Chat GPT, the information from the web is part of the training of the model. It doesn't have to be up to date. There's some sort of a cutoff period. However, with Deep Seek, it will actually transition to the web and start to fetch the latest pieces of information. Now, if you would notice here, it says that the server is busy to do so. Let's try one more time. Go ahead. Here we go. Include the search. So what I'm going to be doing is I'm going to reduce the load on the server. This is something that you could do as a pro tip in case you find that the server is busy. Since it's a free tool is going to be subjected to large demand until the servers are actually increased in size. So I'm going to click on stop the deep thinking part because I don't need it right now. And let's go on the search. Hopefully, this will help us actually get results quickly because we are reducing the demand on the servers in that case. That way you are trying to actually get sophisticated with the model itself, because if you know how to use it, you could tailor your selection using deep think, search, V three. That's the whole purpose of teaching you these important concepts. That way, you're able to actually tweak them in the best way possible. So if what we'd notice is once I stop the deep thinking part, I reduced the requirement from the model and just simply helped it focus on the search features and look what it has got. 30 a results. So once you click on this, you have the ability to see all of the search results that are currently up to date on the topic of selection. And notice the dates, for example, 6 February 2025, 28th of Jan, 2025. This is very, very powerful because you're able to use Deep Seek as a search engine to fetch you information. And then you have the ability to inject the information into your results. That's very powerful. Let's take a look at the block post after fine tuning it with the search analysis. Notice what's happening over here. Latest wellness trends in 2025. So I have the ability right now to update my result, incorporating the search feature, and guess what? You have the ability to find the links and the resources within your result. See how powerful this is? So instead of creating, let's say, a blog post, where the response is just simply based on the trained model on the contrary, now you have the ability to create a unique piece of writing, which fuses the ability for Deep think or the V three model as well using your own tone in combination with the latest search results, and not just that, you're able to take your one level further by actually finding these resources. If I click on this, I have the ability to find the resource and the date of the resource. So if you scroll all the way down now you have actually modified your for this current example, the block post where you've actually gotten the results, the output based on the search analysis, including the citations at the same time, you are using the latest up to date resources. Notice what I've said there. Latest site updates. Look at the trend 2025. So it's up to date. So it has the ability to actually be used as a search engine, not just simply as an artificial intelligence model that has been trained and based on the training, it gives you results. You can just simply click on Search and type in whatever prom that you'd like to fetch a piece of information, and then it has the ability to share with you the various resources on that specific search term. So you understand the difference right now. Now you have the ability to utilize Deepsek as an artificial intelligence model to get your result in combination with a search engine model to get you the latest updates from the web and you're able to combine them to create masterpieces, blog posts, articles, whatever it is using the latest pieces of information. 17.
