Notes

• API endpoint: https://api.deepseek.com/v1 (OpenAI-compatible)
• Status: Beta
• DeepSeek R1 uses extended chain-of-thought reasoning similar to OpenAI o1.
• deepseek-reasoner (R1) does not support tool calling.
• For local/offline use, run ollama pull deepseek-r1:7b and use the deepseek-local alias.
