DeepSeek

DeepSeek provides powerful AI models with an OpenAI-compatible API.

  • Provider: deepseek
  • Auth: DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
  • API: OpenAI-compatible
  • Base URL: https://api.deepseek.com

Quick start

Set the API key (recommended: store it for the Gateway):

openclaw onboard --auth-choice deepseek-api-key

This will prompt for your API key and set deepseek/deepseek-chat as the default model.

Non-interactive example

openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
  --mode local \
  --auth-choice deepseek-api-key \
  --deepseek-api-key "$DEEPSEEK_API_KEY" \
  --skip-health \
  --accept-risk

Environment note

If the Gateway runs as a daemon (launchd/systemd), make sure DEEPSEEK_API_KEY is available to that process (for example, in ~/.openclaw/.env or via env.shellEnv).

Built-in catalog

Model ref Name Input Context Max output Notes

deepseek/deepseek-reasoner DeepSeek Reasoner text 131,072 65,536 Reasoning-enabled V3.2 surface

Both bundled models currently advertise streaming usage compatibility in source.
