A tip from DeepSeek on running R1 locally

DeepSeek team recommends adding \n to the prompt so deepseek-r1 always starts with thorough reasoning.

Additionally, we have observed that the DeepSeek-R1 series models tend to bypass thinking pattern (i.e., outputting "\n\n") when responding to certain queries, which can adversely affect the model's performance. To ensure that the model engages in thorough reasoning, we recommend enforcing the model to initiate its response with "\n" at the beginning of every output.
