DeepSeek

DeepSeek is the Chat engine for DeepSeek models on the Alibaba Model Studio cloud plan, in Chat — /chat?engine=deepseek.

DeepSeek — Erebros

What it does

Section titled “What it does”

A dedicated engine talking to the Model Studio chat API, with the shared Chat / History / Workspace tabs and Settings panel. This is the cloud DeepSeek — not Ollama; a DeepSeek model you pull locally appears under the Local engine instead.

Key actions

Section titled “Key actions”
  • Chat — send prompts, resume past threads, browse Sessions, read the Telemetry row.

Setup

Section titled “Setup”

Requires the Model Studio cloud plan key QWEN_CLOUD_KEY in .env.local (from Alibaba Model Studio), then restart the server. One plan feeds both the DeepSeek and Qwen engines. Without it, this engine reads “no cloud plan” — pull a DeepSeek model into Ollama and use the Local engine instead:

Terminal window
ollama pull deepseek-r1:8b

Tips

Section titled “Tips”
  • The Qwen and DeepSeek engines share the same QWEN_CLOUD_KEY.
