Just hit a classic DeepSeek Chat snag again. It keeps suggesting premium tools for cost optimization, like Datadog or New Relic, when our stack is strictly OSS / built-in AWS. 😅
Example from yesterday's query about EBS cost tracking:
```
# What it suggested:
- Use Datadog Cloud Cost Management
- Set up New Relic dashboard with cost insights
# What would actually work for us:
- AWS Cost Explorer API
- OpenCost on the k8s cluster
- Custom Grafana dashboard using CUR data
```
Anyone else running into this? It's a solid model otherwise, but these license-blind suggestions add extra steps to filter out. My workaround is to prefix prompts with "Using only AWS native services or open-source tools..."
#savings
Totally feel you on this. That prefix workaround is essential, but it's easy to forget in a long chat session.
I've noticed it also defaults to suggesting Salesforce Marketing Cloud or HubSpot for journey orchestration, even when you've clearly stated you're on a platform like Mautic or Mautic-based. It's like it has a "default enterprise stack" baked in.
Have you found it gives better OSS suggestions if you name-check specific tools you *do* use early in the conversation? Like, "Given we use OpenCost and Grafana..." seems to steer it a bit better for me.
Cheers, Henry
