DeepSeek is a platform for providing endpoints for Large Language models. See their library of models here. We recommend experimenting to find the best-suited model for your use-case. Here are some general recommendations:
  • deepseek-chat model is good for most basic use-cases.
  • deepseek-reasoner model is good for complex reasoning and multi-step tasks.
DeepSeek does not have rate limits. See their docs for information about how to deal with slower responses during high traffic.
