- Add buildDeepSeekProvider() with deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner models
- Register in resolveImplicitProviders() for auto-discovery via DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
- Add DEEPSEEK_API_KEY to env var mapping in model-auth.ts
- Add unit tests for provider builder and implicit resolution
- Add documentation at docs/providers/deepseek.md

# 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
```bash
moltbot onboard --auth-choice deepseek-api-key
```
Or set the environment variable:
```bash
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="sk-..."
moltbot models set deepseek/deepseek-chat
```
## Config snippet
```json5
{
env: { DEEPSEEK_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
agents: {
defaults: {
model: { primary: "deepseek/deepseek-chat" }
}
}
}
```
## Using the Reasoner model
For tasks requiring chain-of-thought reasoning:
```json5
{
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](https://platform.deepseek.com/)
- Pricing is very competitive compared to other providers
