Note

DeepSeek-R1, specified via model="deepseek-reasoner", does not support tool calling or structured output. Those features are supported by DeepSeek-V3 (specified via model="deepseek-chat").

Setup

To access DeepSeek models you'll need to create a DeepSeek account, get an API key, and install the langchain-deepseek integration package.

Credentials

Head to DeepSeek's API Key page to sign up to DeepSeek and generate an API key. Once you've done this set the DEEPSEEK_API_KEY environment variable:

import getpass
import os

if not os.getenv("DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"):
    os.environ["DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your DeepSeek API key: ")

To enable automated tracing of your model calls, set your LangSmith API key:

os.environ["LANGSMITH_TRACING"] = "true"
os.environ["LANGSMITH_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your LangSmith API key: ")

Installation

The LangChain DeepSeek integration lives in the langchain-deepseek package:

pip install -qU langchain-deepseek

Instantiation

Now we can instantiate our model object and generate chat completions:

from langchain_deepseek import ChatDeepSeek

llm = ChatDeepSeek(
    model="deepseek-chat",
    temperature=0,
    max_tokens=None,
    timeout=None,
    max_retries=2,
    # other params...
)

Invocation

messages = [
    (
        "system",
        "You are a helpful assistant that translates English to French. Translate the user sentence.",
    ),
    ("human", "I love programming."),
]
ai_msg = llm.invoke(messages)
ai_msg.content
