# DeepSeek models on GPTProto

> One GPTProto API key covers every model listed below. Text models share an OpenAI-compatible API — swap the `model` id. Image / video / audio models use a submit-and-poll API; follow each model's own llms.txt.

## Overview

- **Models**: 7
- **Vendor**: DeepSeek
- **Base URL**: `https://gptproto.com/v1`
- **Provider page**: https://gptproto.com/model/deepseek

## Authentication

Every request needs a GPTProto API key in the `Authorization` header. Create one at https://gptproto.com/dashboard/api-key, then export it:

```bash
export GPTPROTO_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```

Header: `Authorization: Bearer $GPTPROTO_API_KEY`. Use `base_url` `https://gptproto.com/v1` with any OpenAI-compatible SDK.

## Text models

Call these with the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions (or Responses / Messages / Gemini) endpoints. Change only the `model` field.
