# DeepSeek

The DeepSeek model provides access to DeepSeek's language models.

## Parameters

| Parameter                            | Type             | Default                      | Description                                                                                                                               |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id`                                 | `str`            | `"deepseek-v4-flash"`        | The id of the DeepSeek model to use                                                                                                       |

| `api_key`                            | `Optional[str]`  | `None`                       | The API key for DeepSeek (defaults to DEEPSEEK\_API\_KEY env var)                                                                         |
| `base_url`                           | `str`            | `"https://api.deepseek.com"` | The base URL for the DeepSeek API                                                                                                         |
| `use_thinking`                       | `Optional[bool]` | `None`                       | Controls thinking mode. `None` uses the model default (on for thinking-capable models). Set `False` for faster responses without thinking |
| `supports_native_structured_outputs` | `bool`           | `False`                      | Whether the model supports native structured outputs                                                                                      |
