DeepSeek

DeepSeek cost-efficient reasoning LLM

DeepSeek is the Chinese AI lab whose DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1 models made headlines in early 2026 for matching frontier-model performance at roughly a tenth of the cost. Tiny Command exposes three actions, no triggers: Chat Completion (against deepseek-chat — the V3-based general-purpose model — or deepseek-reasoner — the R1-based extended-reasoning model with visible chain-of-thought), List Models, Get Balance (current API credit balance). The connection uses a DeepSeek API key from platform.deepseek.com. The API is OpenAI-compatible (the URL prefix and request/response shapes match), so swapping a workflow from OpenAI to DeepSeek typically requires just the model parameter change. DeepSeek's pricing is dramatic — input tokens under $0.30/M, output under $1.20/M for deepseek-chat (vs GPT-4o-class $5/$15). The reasoner model exposes thinking-chain content in a separate response field, useful for debugging complex reasoning or showing thought process to users.

Actions

Do anything DeepSeek can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

ActionWhat it does
DeepSeek Chat CompletionRuns chat completion against deepseek-chat (V3-based fast general-purpose) or deepseek-reasoner (R1-based with visible chain-of-thought). Reasoner exposes reasoning_content separately from content — useful for debugging complex multi-step reasoning.
Get DeepSeek Credit BalanceReturns the remaining API credit balance. Useful for pre-flight budget control on high-volume LLM workflows where you want to avoid mid-run credit exhaustion.
List DeepSeek ModelsReturns the current DeepSeek model catalog (deepseek-chat, deepseek-reasoner, and any newer variants). Pin specific model versions for production workflow reproducibility.

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect DeepSeek once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every DeepSeek field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.

FAQ

Questions about the DeepSeek integration.

If we missed yours, ping support. We usually reply within an hour.

How do I connect DeepSeek to Tiny Command?
Open the Tiny Command workflow builder, drop in a DeepSeek node, and click Connect. Authorize DeepSeek once and any workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. Most teams finish the connection in under two minutes.
What DeepSeek triggers does Tiny Command support?
Tiny Command focuses on outbound actions for DeepSeek today. Use Tiny Command's universal Webhook or Schedule trigger to start DeepSeek workflows, then run any DeepSeek action you need.
What DeepSeek actions can I run from a workflow?
3 DeepSeek actions are available out of the box, covering communication operations like "DeepSeek Chat Completion". Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's a search result, an AI output, or a form field.
Is the DeepSeek integration real-time?
DeepSeek actions execute synchronously inside your workflow. Tiny Command waits for DeepSeek's API to confirm before continuing to the next step, so downstream nodes can rely on the result.
Do I need to write code to use DeepSeek with Tiny Command?
No. Every DeepSeek trigger and action is fully configurable from the visual workflow builder. For edge cases that aren't covered, drop in a custom HTTP node and call any DeepSeek API endpoint directly.
How much does the DeepSeek integration cost?
There's a free tier you can start on without a credit card. Higher run volumes and team features come with paid plans. The DeepSeek integration itself has no per-app surcharge.
