​
Setup

To access DeepSeek models you’ll need to create a DeepSeek account, get an API key, and install the @langchain/deepseek integration package. You can also access the DeepSeek API through providers like Together AI or Ollama.

​
Credentials

Head to https://deepseek.com/ to sign up to DeepSeek and generate an API key. Once you’ve done this set the DEEPSEEK_API_KEY environment variable: 
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="your-api-key"
If you want to get automated tracing of your model calls you can also set your LangSmith API key by uncommenting below: 
# export LANGSMITH_TRACING="true"
# export LANGSMITH_API_KEY="your-api-key"

​
Installation

The LangChain ChatDeepSeek integration lives in the @langchain/deepseek package: 
npm install @langchain/deepseek @langchain/core

​
Instantiation

Now we can instantiate our model object and generate chat completions: 
import { ChatDeepSeek } from "@langchain/deepseek";

const llm = new ChatDeepSeek({
  model: "deepseek-reasoner",
  temperature: 0,
  // other params...
})

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