DeepSeek answer text tracking
deepseekanswer_textAccount required
Every DeepSeek answer is stored verbatim in the original language, with the answer mode recorded, so a Chinese-market report can quote the sentence rather than paraphrasing a translation.
How it renders
The answer body, stored unmodified.
Sampling
Every sample is stored, not just the modal one. Divergence between samples is the raw material for the volatility metrics.
Gotcha
Translating before storage destroys the evidence. We store source-language text and translate at report time if you want it, never the other way round.
What the API returns
A single collection call against DeepSeek for the answer text field, sampled n times and returned as one object per prompt.
