Version 6.1.2 - DeepSeek AI Models Now Available
New AI Models from DeepSeek
ChatBuddy now includes two powerful new AI models from DeepSeek, giving you even more options for your conversations. DeepSeek Chat delivers fast and accurate responses for everyday tasks, creative projects, and general questions. It's available on the free tier, so everyone can experience its capabilities.
For complex problems that require deeper analysis, DeepSeek Reasoner uses advanced reasoning techniques and shows you its complete thought process before presenting the final answer. Watch as it works through logical steps, evaluates different approaches, and arrives at well-reasoned conclusions. This transparency helps you understand not just what the AI thinks, but how it thinks.
Customizable Reasoning Display
Pro subscribers can control whether they want to see the reasoning process or prefer just the final answer. Access DeepSeek Settings in Advanced Settings to toggle this feature on or off based on your preference. The reasoning display uses the same elegant formatting as other thinking models, maintaining ChatBuddy's clean and modern interface.
All your favorite ChatBuddy features remain intact, including instant switching between AI models, conversation history, custom system prompts, and our beautiful glass design interface. Now with more AI models to choose from than ever before.
Added support for Anthropic Claude Haiku 4.5 and Sonnet 4.5! We also have a new advanced settings menu for Claude, allowing you to fine tune your extended thinking options with Claude LLMs.
CUSTOM SYSTEM PROMPT (PRO)
Personalize your AI experience with custom instructions. Tell the AI how you prefer responses - whether casual or professional, brief or detailed, creative or technical. Your custom instructions work across all AI providers and can be enabled or disabled per engine.
