Comment on DeepSeek-R1 for Coding in Zed

Comments

Can we use an api key that doesn’t involve sending our code to China with deepseek?

You can now deploy it in Azure. I’m using that now to replicate what I did with Ollama the other day: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2025/01/29/0900

Sadly, neither the distilled model nor the “full” ones seem to be able to actually work their way through a real coding problem without a lot of frustration on my part. You’d expect fetching and parsing web content to be something they “understood” down to the fundamentals…

Yes, you can use open router [1] and decide where to send your code.

Open router looks really awesome. I wasn’t aware of this service thanks!
