DeepSeek sunsets API model aliases July 24, impacting plugin users

DeepSeek is sunsetting two API model aliases, deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner, on July 24, 2026. These aliases were maintained for 90 days following the April 24 launch of the V4 models (Flash and Pro) to ensure a smooth transition. Users directly calling the API must update their code to use the explicit model IDs, while users relying on plugins or other tools may be unaware of the underlying model changes. AI

IMPACT Developers and users of DeepSeek's API must update their integrations by July 24, 2026, to avoid service disruptions.
