The author argues that the term "DeepSeek Agent" is misleading, as the agentic behavior stems from the surrounding system architecture rather than the DeepSeek model itself. True agent capabilities are built through tool definitions, orchestration loops, and memory management, with the LLM serving primarily as a reasoning component within this framework. While DeepSeek performs comparably to other models in specific areas like tool selection accuracy and argument formatting, the overall agent performance is heavily influenced by the developer's system design and tool descriptions, not solely by the underlying model.
