DeepSeek R1 (
deepseek-reasoner) is a reasoning model — it performs an internal chain-of-thought before responding. This generally produces more accurate translations, especially for complex Blueprint logic.DeepSeek V3 (deepseek-chat) is a standard chat/instruction model. It responds faster and costs less per request, but may produce less thorough translations on intricate graphs.
