Deepseek R1 is having conflicts with its citation rules

lowdude

I just tested Deepseek R1 a little, and it spend half its "thinking time" on the formatting of its citation, how to cite if it did use websearch and thus has no links, etc. Maybe this just occasionally happens, but it may also be possible to fix the bug with small tweaks to the prompts setups.

Disregarding the fact that my prompt would not actually require a reasoning model in the first place, this was the thread: https://kagi.com/assistant/aa115980-f3da-49bb-ad38-248fa13a0dc0

Thanks for reporting this. We have made some updates to our prompts to address this problem and should come out in the next release.
