# DeepSeek

## Purpose
Call the DeepSeek API from Muse: list the currently available models, run OpenAI-compatible chat completions (with thinking mode and sampling controls), and check the account balance. Reach for this when the user wants an answer from a DeepSeek model or wants to inspect their DeepSeek account.

## Tooling
All commands go through `bin/deepseek.py`:

```bash
bin/deepseek.py auth                                              # verify the API key
bin/deepseek.py models                                            # list available models
bin/deepseek.py chat --message "Explain recursion in one sentence" \
    --model deepseek-flash                                        # chat completion (SPENDS)
bin/deepseek.py chat --message "Solve: 2x+5=17" \
    --model deepseek-v4-pro --system "Show your work." \
    --temperature 0.2 --max-tokens 500                             # with options
bin/deepseek.py balance                                           # account balance
```

The chat command prints the reply plus token usage and a cost note. Thinking-mode
models also return `reasoning_content` when the API provides it.
