Access DeepSeek's high-performance LLMs, including the DeepSeek-V3 (deepseek-chat) and DeepSeek-R1 (deepseek-reasoner) models, via a robust, OpenAI-compatible RESTful API.

The DeepSeek API provides direct access to two flagship models: the general-purpose DeepSeek-V3 (deepseek-chat) and the specialized DeepSeek-R1 (deepseek-reasoner). DeepSeek-V3 handles conversational tasks and supports a 128K context window; DeepSeek-R1 excels at complex mathematical reasoning and structured logic. The API is designed for simple integration, offering full compatibility with the OpenAI API format and supporting essential developer features like structured JSON output and Function Calling (on deepseek-chat). Utilize the base URL, `https://api.deepseek.com`, to power applications requiring high-precision AI capabilities.

### [Construindo Linr, um editor interativo de timelines com Deepseek rodando no Cursor](https://curitiba.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_xqVhn6TV5MI)

O Linr é um editor online de timelines visuais - útil para checkpoints, milestones, diagramas, eventos historicos, registros de viagem, funil de vendas e afins. Configurei os modelos DeepSeek V4 dentro do Cursor usando o Cline como harness, porque o agente nativo do Cursor não aceita rotear para a API da DeepSeek. Com esse setup rodando, o Linr saiu do zero. Na demo ao vivo eu mostro, em três atos: O setup : por que o caminho obvio não funciona (o agente do Cursor recusa a chave externa) e como o Cline resolve isso dentro da mesma IDE. O coração: pego o Linr num estado inacabado e dou uma tarefa real ao agente rodando DeepSeek ao vivo - uma feature que falta ou um bug - e vocês veem o modelo construindo software de verdade, com o custo em dolar subindo na tela. O payoff: abro o app funcionando e mostro quanto custou, em tokens e em dólar, chegar ali.

### [Podsumo - your personal podcast agent](https://nurnberg.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_RZYtKUm6Y7c)

I follow a lot of podcasts but just don't have time to actually listen. I built Podsumo (podsumo.io) which scans and identifies interesting episodes from my list of podcasts and also answers questions if I have. The cool part is that it all runs within the modal labs free credit with less than 50 cents of Deepseek API credits.

### [An AI Roomba to Keep Your Homelab Tidy \[Hermes Agent\]](https://nashville.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_NSOiaP0nR4E)

Used Hermes Agent to make an AI ops layer that handles the digital chores I'd otherwise forget: 24 cron jobs covering backups, CVE monitoring, NAS consolidation, secret and code scanning (TruffleHog plus opengrep) routed through agent triage, blog auto-deploy, issue auto-fixing, kanban dispatch across 16 kanban projects, and a nightly self-introspection loop that audits its own degradation. **Live demo:** walk the architecture, show the dispatcher routing a real ticket to the to something (maybe auto post on my blog), demo a script-only cron exiting in milliseconds vs. an agent-driven one (maybe fixing an offline systemd service), and pull up the morning CVE report (hope there is something juicy for the demo).

### [AI Launcher for old games on Mac OS (very millennial / boomer)](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_jmXoHb_fAoc)

Cellar is AI pipeline based on Wine with the only goal – to launch an old games on your Mac. Launching old games on Mac is especially notorious business based on reading manuals, tweaking configs and it is not fun (at least for me). To help nostalgic newbies as I am, I made this tool – Cellar. It is a bundle of Wine and AI pipeline. You point it to the installation file and does everything for you: unpacks it, installs, creates a bottle and finds correct configuration to launch. Once the game is launched, successful config stored and you don't need AI anymore. Additionally, all Cellar agents have shared Wiki that collects all their experiences together – so that if one Cellar agent launched game correctly, another one will read about it. It currently supports Claude, Deepseek and Kimi.
