Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/5523

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

yesterday the app was happily running via anyhtingLLM api using deepseek and deepseek-chat models - with purchased api key, today they are totally gone from the LLM deekseek options and replaced with 2 preview models. deepseek-flash / deepseek-pro, which you broke our functions by doing this out of the blue.

as well these models are returning there "thinking" and we are unable to stop the thinking from returning in the results stream, which we are now scrambling to try to rectifiy.

why did you have to completely remove the deepseek-chat, can you put it back please.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

select deepseek llm, the options for deepseek-chat are removed from the list and replaced with "preview" models

LLM Provider & Model (if applicable)

No response

Embedder Provider & Model (if applicable)

No response

This is because deepseek API removed the models and so the API no longer shows them. They also changed their API as well which also broke that integration.

We did do anything - they broke their API by removing models as well as making backward compatibility impossible.

That is all that is going on.

Note: If you manually set the DEEPSEEK_MODEL_PREF ENV in the appropriate env file location
Docker - this is in your storage folder you use with the container
Desktop- https://docs.anythingllm.com/installation-desktop/storage should be potentially invisible .env file.

Edit this file, restart container or kill & restart app.

This will allow you to still use these deprecated models despite the fact the Deepseek official API does not show them - everything will still work while we work on https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/5509 for official support and also bringing that patch to desktop!

Valid values for legacy models are:
deepseek-reasoner or deepseek-chat
