Use DeepSeek’s powerful language models — including the deepseek-reasoner for complex multi-step reasoning and deepseek-chat for general conversations. DeepSeek exposes an OpenAI-compatible API, so Agentium connects using the standard openai SDK pointed at https://api.deepseek.com.
DeepSeek has no rate limits. During high-traffic periods, responses may be slower rather than rejected. See DeepSeek docs.

Basic Example


Reasoning Model

Set reasoning.enabled to send thinking: { type: "enabled" } and reasoning_effort. DeepSeek only accepts low, high, and max, so medium is sent as high. effort: "none" sends thinking: { type: "disabled" }. Tool turns replay reasoning_content. The deepseek-reasoner model returns chain-of-thought reasoning via reasoning_content:
