DeepSeek

DeepSeek provides cost-effective AI models with OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Moltbot supports both the Chat and Reasoner models.

Models

Model ID Name Reasoning Context
deepseek-chat DeepSeek Chat No 64K
deepseek-reasoner DeepSeek Reasoner Yes 64K

Quick start

moltbot onboard --auth-choice deepseek-api-key

Or set the environment variable:

export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="sk-..."
moltbot models set deepseek/deepseek-chat

Config snippet

{
  env: { DEEPSEEK_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "deepseek/deepseek-chat" }
    }
  }
}

Using the Reasoner model

For tasks requiring chain-of-thought reasoning:

{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "deepseek/deepseek-reasoner" }
    }
  }
}

Notes

  • DeepSeek uses an OpenAI-compatible API at https://api.deepseek.com
  • Get your API key from platform.deepseek.com
  • Pricing is very competitive compared to other providers
