Taiwan bans government departments from using DeepSeek AI | Reuters
https://www.reuters.com/technology/taiwan-bans-government-departments-using-deepseek-ai-2025-02-03/

One very interesting observation about DeepSeek-R1: few-shot prompting actually degrades its performance. I’m not 100% certain of the cause, but the lack of good few-shot learning performance is likely due to the fact that R1 is trained to adhere to a strict format. During RL, we apply a formatting loss that rewards the model for outputting a long CoT reasoning trace followed by a final answer / summary. Few-shot examples don’t naturally fit into this reasoning format.
