What is DeepSeek

DeepSeek builds large language models for chat and reasoning use cases.

Connect DeepSeek

DeepSeek requires your own account. Connect your DeepSeek API key on the Integrations page before configuring an assistant. Without a connected DeepSeek key, the models below will not work.

Language model

Set model.provider to deep-seek and model.model to a supported model.

$
curl -X PATCH "https://api.vapi.ai/assistant/ASSISTANT_ID" \
>
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VAPI_API_KEY" \
>
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
>
  -d '{
>
    "model": { "provider": "deep-seek", "model": "deepseek-chat" }
>
  }'

For additional API configuration options, review the DeepSeekModel fields in the Create Assistant API reference.
