DeepSeek

Use this when your team already runs on DeepSeek and you want that vendor family to stay explicit in Loong config instead of disappearing behind a generic compatibility route.

Minimal Config

active_provider = "deepseek"

[providers.deepseek]
kind = "deepseek"
api_key = { env = "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY" }
model = "auto"

Verify It

loong doctor
loong runtime models list
loong ask --message "Say hello and name the active provider."

If runtime models list is unreliable for this account or region, pin an explicit provider.model or add preferred_models instead of leaving recovery implicit.
