How to Integrate DeepSeek’s Open‑Source LLM into Your Application
This guide introduces DeepSeek, outlines its cutting‑edge open‑source LLMs, and provides step‑by‑step instructions for accessing the admin backend, adding and configuring DeepSeek models, setting API endpoints and keys, and enabling frontend access.
Overview
DeepSeek is a Chinese AI research company founded on July 17, 2023, dedicated to developing advanced large language models (LLM) and related technologies.
The company’s latest open‑source model R1 achieves reasoning abilities comparable to OpenAI’s o1 model while being trained for only $5.6 million, far less than the multi‑hundred‑million‑dollar investments of major U.S. tech firms.
DeepSeek‑V3’s overall capability rivals top‑tier closed‑source models such as GPT‑4o and Claude‑3.5‑Sonnet, and it leads the open‑source leaderboard in inference speed.
