DeepSeek Chat
General chat, coding help, lightweight agent tasks, and API migration from OpenAI-style SDKs.
DeepSeek API for global builders
Start with DeepSeek Chat through a familiar /v1 API, pay with prepaid USD credits, create API keys in the customer console, and track usage without juggling Chinese provider accounts.
Model store
A focused catalog beats a noisy marketplace during launch. Each model card shows status, pricing, and the action that matters: create a key in the console.
General chat, coding help, lightweight agent tasks, and API migration from OpenAI-style SDKs.
Reasoning-heavy workloads, multi-step analysis, tool planning, and harder coding tasks after route verification.
Additional Chinese model routes will be added only when pricing, fallback behavior, and billing records are ready.
How it works
The public website should sell and explain. The console should handle identity, credits, keys, and usage. That keeps the product path legible.
Recharge prepaid balance before production traffic.
Generate a token and keep it secret in your app environment.
Use the OpenAI SDK against https://api.modelbridgeapi.com/v1.
Positioning
ModelBridge should win a narrower job than all-model routers: make Chinese model access clear, payable, and usable for global developers.
Use official or compliant upstream APIs. Do not rely on shared subscriptions, browser reverse engineering, or hidden account pools.
Start with the most concrete route, then add more Chinese providers only after verification.
Track requests, tokens, charged amount, latency, and route behavior in the customer console.
Keep billing exposure explicit for developers testing Chinese model routes.
Quickstart
Create a token in the console, set the hosted base URL, and call deepseek-chat.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="YOUR_MODELBRIDGE_API_KEY",
base_url="https://api.modelbridgeapi.com/v1"
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-chat",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
