The DeepSeek integration allows Blaxel users to **call DeepSeek models using a Blaxel endpoint** in order to unify access control, credentials and observability management. The integration must be set up by an [admin](../Security/Workspace-access-control) in the Integrations section in the [workspace settings](../Security/Workspace-access-control). ## Set up the integration In order to use this integration, you must register a DeepSeek access token into your Blaxel workspace settings. First, generate a DeepSeek API key from [your DeepSeek console](https://platform.deepseek.com/api_keys). On Blaxel, in Workspace Settings > DeepSeek integration, create a new connection and paste this token into the “API key” section. image.webp ## Connect to a DeepSeek model Once you’ve set up the integration in the workspace, any workspace member can use it to reference a DeepSeek model as an [external model API](../Models/External-model-apis). When creating a model API, select DeepSeek. You can search for any model from the DeepSeek catalog. image.webp After the model API is created, you will receive a dedicated global Blaxel endpoint to call the model. Blaxel will forward inference requests to DeepSeek, using your DeepSeek credentials for authentication and authorization. Because your own credentials are used, any inference request on this endpoint will incur potential costs on your DeepSeek account, as if you queried the model directly on DeepSeek.
