    DeepSeek Prover V2: 3-Minute Stand-Up Comedy Routine Opening: Hey everyone! How's it going? You know, I've been thinking a lot about relationships lately. Not because I'm in one, but because I'm not. And that's the problem. I'm single, and I'm starting to think that my dating profile is the reason why.

    Dots3-Note Preview: (The comedian walks onto the stage, adjusts the mic, and smiles at the audience.) Thank you, thank you. You guys are great. I love coming to [City Name]. I was just at the airport trying to get here, and I have to tell you, the modern airport experience is just… a lot.
