Build with DeepSeek through one API

Compare the DeepSeek models currently listed on ExosAI and choose one for your app, coding tool or playground conversation. Use the same API key and OpenAI SDK as your other models.

Compare DeepSeek models

Search for DeepSeek in the model catalog. Compare exact IDs, context windows, reasoning and tool support, image input and token prices. Features can differ between versions, even within the same family.

Understand free eligibility

Some listed DeepSeek models may be eligible for free-model credit or included in your plan. Check the model’s eligibility and your available bonus balance. Published token prices still apply when usage is billed to paid credit; an eligible label does not mean unlimited free requests.

The free AI API guide explains the separate balances, and Pricing shows current account limits.

Make a DeepSeek request

Choose the DeepSeek model ID from the catalog and replace the placeholder in this request.

curl https://api.exosai.tech/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EXOSAI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "MODEL_ID_FROM_THE_CATALOG", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]}'

Test reasoning and tools

Try your prompt in the AI playground or connect Cline or Continue. Check the model’s supported request format in the documentation. Your app must handle any function calls returned by the model.
