HTTP Request DeepSeek R1 Issue

Questions
1

The HTTP Request node, which was connected to DeepSeek R1 and worked fine previously, started hanging when sending a request for around 10 minutes and eventually failed the workflow with the error “Invalid JSON in response body.”

I tried reducing the length of the request significantly, and this worked temporarily, but soon the node stopped sending the request again. Switching to the DeepSeek V3 model resolved the issue, and requests now go through without any problems. But I need R1.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue with the HTTP Request node and DeepSeek R1?
Is there a known fix or workaround to make it work consistently? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

UPD
V3 doesn’t work well too
