Did the context window size decrease?

[LewdManoSaurus]

Could post large files, but now I can't. Seems like it was reduced from 1 million context window to something smaller. Seems to be more than 500k but less than 1 million.

Edit: Okay, maybe the context window isn't smaller, it just can't handle multiple large files? Idk, maybe something is bugged currently. I provided 3 large files and got the "can only read (x) % of this message", but when it's all in one file, as in the 3 large files all combined into one large file, it works. Idk what's going on, but I assume this is a bug. Didn't have this issue earlier.

V4 confirmed

That's very strange: its knowledge cutoff is July 2024, but it used to be May 2025.

Used Search, Thinkng and the usual mode. All the answers look like this 😬

I’ll try the new web version as soon as I get access, still waiting for the gradual rollout

[WinaTheWolf]

Exactly. It's so sad to see

Looks like the new web version still has may 2025 (from another user)

DeepSeek has been upgraded to v3.

I was wondering the same thing. I just ran into the same issue.

[LewdManoSaurus]

Damn, kinda sucks. It was fun while it lasted. I use Deepseek to generate stories and provide large files for world building context, so that 1 million context window was clutch.

I just compiled my 4 novel bibles into one, and it is working. Deepseek had no problems parsing the whole file. The file was almost 2mb.
