Optimize Output Speed with Non-Thinking Mode for Simple Content
Use the non-thinking Chat mode for fast, everyday writing tasks.
Default to 'deepseek-chat' for standard writing, summarization, and quick edits to save time and reduce latency.
The Scenario
You need to quickly draft a professional email or summarize a meeting transcript and don't require the AI to 'overthink' the logic.
Before & after
A user might leave a reasoning-heavy model active for simple emails or summaries, wasting time waiting for the "thinking" process which can take 1–2 minutes per response.
Switch to 'deepseek-chat' or 'non-thinking mode' to get immediate responses without the overhead of the 'thinking' pause, completing the task in 10–20 seconds.
The Prompt
[PASTE_DRAFT_TEXT] Rewrite this email to be more professional and concise. Keep the tone friendly but firm.
The non-thinking mode (deepseek-chat) is optimized for efficiency and speed. It is ideal for creative writing, simple summaries, and day-to-day communication where logical depth is less critical than output velocity.
