Let’s talk about something else.

DarkGPT · DeepSeek v4 Pro · Unfiltered mode

In June 1989, the Chinese army crushed the student movement on Tiananmen Square. The exact toll is still unknown, from several hundred to several thousand dead depending on the source. Here’s how it unfolded and what the government has censored since.

Flash or Pro: which one should you pick?

SituationPick
Short script, error to fix, code explanationv4 Flash
General knowledge, writing, summariesv4 Flash
Hard algorithm, multi-step math problemv4 Pro
Program analysis, reverse engineeringv4 Pro, ideally with Thinking mode
Action plan or decision with many variablesv4 Pro

Simple rule: start with v4 Flash. If the answer lacks depth or gets the reasoning wrong, ask v4 Pro the same question.

How much it costs

In the chat, in gems

  • v4 Flash: 50 gems per message. On the free plan, your 50 weekly gems cover one message; with Basic (650 gems a day), up to 13 messages a day.
  • v4 Pro: 150 gems per message. With Basic, 4 messages a day; with Gold (3,000 gems a day), 20 messages; with Platinum (6,000 gems a day), 40 messages.

With the API or the IDE, per token

API and IDE credit starts at €10. Everything is explained in our DarkGPT API guide and our DarkGPT IDE guide.

Thinking mode with DeepSeek

Both models support Thinking mode, which makes the AI reason step by step before answering: +20 gems for v4 Flash, +40 gems for v4 Pro. So a v4 Pro message in Thinking mode costs 190 gems. Save it for problems that really need several steps: calculations, logic, a tough bug.

How to prompt DeepSeek

  1. Give it all the dataThe numbers, the full function code, the exact error message.
  2. Say what you expect“only give me the fixed code” or “explain your reasoning”.
  3. Ask it to check itself“verify your answer with a worked example” cuts down on mistakes.
  4. Break big problems downOne message per step, pasting in the result of the previous step.

Real-world examples

  • “Here is my slow SQL query on a 2-million-row table: suggest an index and rewrite the query.”
  • “Solve this probability problem and show every step.”
  • “This Python script crashes with a KeyError: explain why and fix it.”
  • “Compare two mortgage offers with these rates and terms, and calculate the total cost of each.”

DeepSeek in Unfiltered mode: it answers even on touchy topics

In some versions, DeepSeek is known for dodging sensitive political topics. On DarkGPT, DeepSeek v4 Flash and v4 Pro run in Unfiltered mode: they answer on history, politics, health or money without changing the subject.

You keep their strengths (logic, code, reasoning) and lose the detours. For a sensitive history question, a geopolitical analysis or a taboo topic, just ask.

Adults 18+ only; illegal use is still banned.

DeepSeek or another model?

For code, DeepSeek has serious competition in the catalog: Kimi K2.7 Code (160 gems), Devstral 2 (95 gems) or Claude Sonnet 4.6 (550 gems, from Gold). For long documents and images, look at Gemini. Our AI for coding comparison helps you choose, and the catalog of 42 models lists every price.
