Setup examples

  • DeepSeek: baseURL `https://api.deepseek.com`, wire responses
  • Qwen: DashScope OpenAI-compatible endpoint
  • Moonshot: baseURL `https://api.moonshot.cn/v1`
  • All use the responses wire, all support function calls

Heads up

  • Some domestic models still trail GPT-5 / Claude on function-call reliability
  • Long-context pricing varies wildly
  • Don’t send personal data to providers whose compliance posture you’re unsure about
