I’m trying to connect and use DeepSeek with Janitor AI, but I’m not sure about the correct setup process. Do I need an API key, a specific provider, or any additional configuration to make DeepSeek work properly with Janitor AI? I’ve seen different guides online and I’m a bit confused about which steps are currently required. Could someone explain the setup process and mention any common issues or requirements I should be aware of?

I recently set up DeepSeek on Janitor AI, and the process was actually pretty simple once I understood how the API connection works.
First, you need a DeepSeek API key. You can get it from the DeepSeek platform after creating an account. Once you have the key, go to Janitor AI settings and open the API or model configuration section.
From there:
– Select a custom/OpenAI-compatible API provider if available
– Paste the DeepSeek API key
– Add the correct API base URL provided by DeepSeek
– Choose the DeepSeek model you want to use
– Save the settings and test the connection
One thing that confused me at first was that Janitor AI sometimes changes its setup options, so older tutorials may not match the current interface.
Common issues I faced:
– Wrong API endpoint URL
– Invalid or expired API key
– Model name not matching correctly
– Free-tier rate limits causing errors
After configuring everything properly, DeepSeek worked normally for chats and roleplay on Janitor AI.
