Frequently asked questions

How do I use DeepSeek models through Api.Airforce?
Point any OpenAI-compatible client at https://api.airforce/v1 and set the model id (for example "deepseek"). Your existing OpenAI SDK works unchanged — you only swap the base URL and API key. The same key also speaks the Anthropic Messages API.
Are DeepSeek models free?
DeepSeek models are premium — you add credits (a monthly plan or a pay-as-you-go top-up) to call them. A free account can still use the open free-tier models from other families at $0.
How much do DeepSeek models cost on Api.Airforce?
Billing is pay-as-you-go per token, at rates that sit well below the official APIs. The exact per-model input and output prices are listed in the table above and update automatically as upstream prices change.
Which DeepSeek models are available?
Currently 24 DeepSeek models, including DeepSeek, DeepSeek Chat, DeepSeek Chat V3. The catalog is refreshed as new models launch, so the list above is always current.
