Releasing the full suite of application APIs

First seen Nov 13 Updated Nov 13, 17:39 UTC Heat 40 high evidence

DeepSeek opened its app features to developers through its existing APIs. The deepseek-flash model now supports web search, deep thinking search, file input, URL reading and a safety check, with the service handling tool calls and context assembly.

What to do: Enable the deepseek_web_search or deepseek_read_url tool in existing deepseek-flash requests.
Who should care: Developers building chat or agent apps on the DeepSeek API.

Why it matters: Developers can add web search, file input and URL reading to deepseek-flash by enabling parameters in existing APIs, without building their own tool pipeline.
