Chat DeepSeek
Section titled “Chat DeepSeek”Use DeepSeek chat and reasoning models.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Provides access to DeepSeek’s chat and reasoning models for AI agent nodes. DeepSeek exposes an OpenAI-compatible API, so this node runs the OpenAI client against DeepSeek’s base URL.
When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”Connect this to AI agents when you want to use DeepSeek models, such as deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner, for text generation or reasoning tasks.
Inputs and settings
Section titled “Inputs and settings”| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
| Model | The DeepSeek model to use, e.g. deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner. Placeholder: deepseek-chat. |

Outputs
Section titled “Outputs”Returns a chat model dependency that can be connected to AI agent nodes.
Dependencies and credentials
Section titled “Dependencies and credentials”- Requires an Authentication credential holding your DeepSeek API key, sent as a Bearer token.
- The node throws an error if Model is empty.
Example workflow
Section titled “Example workflow”Connect Chat DeepSeek to an AI agent or dependency input that accepts this dependency type, set the Model to a DeepSeek model such as deepseek-chat, attach your DeepSeek API key credential, then run the agent with data from previous nodes.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- Ensure Model is filled in — the node rejects an empty value.
- If it calls an external service, verify credentials, permissions, and rate limits.
- No dedicated source test was found next to this node; verify behavior manually when changing this page.
