I still can not use the API for responses, even for the shortest context. Please fix that asap.

Here is the full error:

JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

That's just the reason why I ask for this question. It is green today for sure in the website. Here is the code I use:

# Please install OpenAI SDK first: `pip3 install openai`

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key="my api ky", base_url="https://api.deepseek.com")

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-chat",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant"},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"},
    ],
    stream=False
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

But the error occurred. So you mean that there are no problems in api performances?
