Solution for DeepSeek server congestion

Implemented using third-party SiliconFlow + ChatBox

Principle: DeepSeek servers are unstable, so both the website and API are unstable. However, the DeepSeek model is deployed on SiliconFlow servers, so the DeepSeek model called through SiliconFlow servers can run stably.

Advantages: Stable access to the DeepSeek-R1 model

Disadvantages: Because it uses SiliconFlow servers, SiliconFlow charges for the API. New registered users get 14 yuan of free credit. Testing shows a simple question costs 0.0015 yuan, and the charge is related to token length, which simply means the text length of input and output.

Comment: You can use the free credit as a temporary stopgap while DeepSeek servers are under maintenance.

Steps:
1: Register for SiliconFlow and generate an API key
2: Download ChatBox and enter the SiliconFlow API key
3: Select the DeepSeek-R1 model
4: Start chatting
