DeepSeek does not expose a native Responses API, so GoModel translates /v1/responses to /chat/completions automatically. It also remaps OpenAI-style reasoning levels to the two DeepSeek accepts.

​
Configure

DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=...
Or in config.yaml: 
providers:
  deepseek:
    type: deepseek
    base_url: "https://api.deepseek.com"
    api_key: "${DEEPSEEK_API_KEY}"
If you previously configured DeepSeek as type: openai, switch to type: deepseek. The generic OpenAI provider does not translate /responses or remap reasoning effort.

​
Reasoning effort mapping

DeepSeek V4 reasoning models accept reasoning_effort as a top-level string with two permitted levels: high and max.
Client sendsDeepSeek receives
low / medium / highhigh
xhigh / maxmax
anything elsepassed through by GoModel, then rejected by DeepSeek
GoModel rewrites the OpenAI-shaped "reasoning": {"effort": "..."} into DeepSeek’s top-level reasoning_effort — no client change required. Validate or normalize custom client values to high or max before calling GoModel. To disable reasoning, omit the reasoning field entirely; any provided reasoning.effort, including low, is mapped and enables reasoning.
