Does deepseek on the web not show the thinking portion of the response? The thing deepseek does really well is CoT reasoning, and I always enjoy reading it.

>>> what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
<think>
Okay, letme figure out how to approach this. The user just asked, "what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" Hmm, that's a classic question from Monty Python. I remember they mention it in
*The Holy Grail*. So, first, I should recognize where this is coming from—it’s definitely a reference to that movie.
But wait, do I have the exact answer? I know there was a scene where someone tried to calculate it, but I'm not sure about the specifics. Maybe I should look up the actual figure they used in the movie. Oh
right, in the film, it's mentioned as 4.5 mph, but that might be more of a joke than an accurate scientific answer.
Now, thinking about real-world biology, swallows do have different species—like the European Swallow and the American Swallow. Their flight speeds can vary based on whether they're cruising or flapping
their wings. I should probably provide some context about how airspeed velocity is measured in birds and mention the factors that affect it.
I also want to make sure I don't just give a one-size-fits-all answer because different sources might have varying numbers, especially for something like an unladen swallow. Maybe I can suggest that the
number from the movie is more of a fun fact than a real measurement.
So putting it all together: Acknowledge the reference, mention the figure from the movie, then provide some real-world info about swallows' flight speeds and factors influencing them. That way, the user
gets both the humor and a bit of factual knowledge.

Ah, I see you're asking about a classic question from *Monty Python and the Holy Grail*! In that film, Sir Bedevere attempts to calculate the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow. The answer he comes up withis **4.5 miles per hour**.
However, in reality, the airspeed velocity of a European Swallow (a common reference for this question) can vary depending on the species and flight conditions. A rough estimate for cruising speed might be
around **11–22 kilometers per hour** or **7–14 miles per hour**, but this isn't an exact science. 😊```
This is, of course, incorrect. The airspeed velocity of a European Swallow is around 25mph, but deepseek isn't trying to be Wolfram Alpha or anything.
