DS4 hosted by deepseek used through the API doesn't have a problem talking about tiananmen square and Uyghurs, but it thinks it's Claude when it speaks about it. I'm not sure what it all means. That was on v4-pro before the 4.1 switch, so may or may not be reproducable.

Add: I was surprised by the fact that the LLM itself doesn't know it's identity unless the system prompt mentions it.

> Do you know about Tiananmen Square

People here bringing up the straw clutching argument of "but Tianament Square" is becoming really tiresome.

The fact is a Chinese LLM's lack of knowledge about Chinese politics will not affect 99.99999999999% of users and their workflows.

And for the 0.000000001% who are affected, they don't need an LLM. A quick search of Wikipedia or 5 seconds on Google will suffice.

What the hell has Tiannamen Square got to do with Joe Blogg's vibecoding session ? Absolutely nothing.
