descriptions

I need to integrate the DeepSeek service into my program and support both the official API of DeepSeek and the service deployed on our own hardware cluster. However, I've noticed that the thinking process might come from the content wrapped in think within the content field, or the reasoning_content described in your API documentation. What's the difference between them?

nice to have

I've noticed that DeepSeek doesn't have discussions enabled. I think it's necessary, and I'm willing to offer help with this.

The text in the reasoning_content field is the text between the and tags.
The exact answer of the query is wrapped in the content field as normal.
