Why deploy DeepSeek through AI Security Gateway?
Automatic PII Redaction
Every DeepSeek request is scanned for 28+ PII entity types — SSNs, credit cards, emails, API keys, and more — before it reaches any provider.
Smart Cost Routing
DeepSeek is available across 3 providers. Our Smart Router picks the cheapest one per-request. 25% managed markup / 0% on Pro BYOK.
Zero Code Changes
Change two lines in your OpenAI SDK — base_url and api_key — and every request flows through AISG. Full backward compatibility.
Full Observability
Per-request logging of token counts, latency, DLP violations, and cost. Never wonder what your AI spend is again.

Integration — 2 Lines
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.aisecuritygateway.ai/v1",
api_key="your_hub_api_key"
)
# Use any virtual model name from the pricing table above
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="oah/deepseek-r1",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)Use any virtual model name from the pricing table above (prefixed with oah/). Works with the standard OpenAI SDK. Every request is PII-scanned before reaching DeepSeek (Open Source).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DeepSeek API pricing?
DeepSeek API pricing varies by provider and model variant. In Managed Mode, we add a 25% markup. With Pro BYOK, you pay the provider directly at 0% markup. Check the pricing table above for live rates across Groq, Together.ai, and DeepInfra.
What is the DeepSeek V3 cost?
DeepSeek V3 cost depends on the provider. It's one of the most cost-effective models at its capability level — see the pricing comparison table above for per-token rates.
How do I access the DeepSeek API?
Through AI Security Gateway, use the standard OpenAI SDK with model name 'oah/deepseek-v3' or 'oah/deepseek-r1'. All requests get 28+ PII entity redaction automatically.
How does DeepSeek compare to GPT-4?
DeepSeek V3 matches or exceeds GPT-4 on many coding and reasoning benchmarks at a significantly lower cost. For coding tasks specifically, it's one of the best options available.
Is DeepSeek available in Managed Mode?
Yes. DeepSeek models are available through multiple providers in both Managed and BYOK modes.
