How DeepSeek text gives itself away
DeepSeek is a Chinese company and its models have open weights, so they run not only in its own chat but also in third-party apps and on private servers. Whoever receives the text often does not know which model is behind it.
The check does not need to know the source. It measures how even the sentences are, the paragraph structure and how predictable the word choice is, which are properties of the text itself.
