Use Cases for DeepSeek

Prepare the document, code or business facts that the answer needs to use. Specify the operation, required structure and acceptance criteria, then review the returned text against the source. Continue with observed test results or clarified requirements when the task needs another iteration.

Understanding a code path

Provide the relevant functions and describe the behavior you want to trace. Ask for an explanation tied to the supplied code, then compare it with execution or test evidence before making a change.

Document-based answers

Supply the sections that contain the relevant evidence and state the question. Request an answer organized around the needed facts and verify its statements against the original passages.

Structured product or business records

Provide a source description and the fields and units needed by your workflow. Validate the generated structure and values before using them in a catalog draft or application input.

Replies with defined next steps

Describe the reader’s issue, permitted actions and information still needed. Review the generated reply for factual accuracy, tone and an actionable next step before using it in a business workflow.

Iteration from test results

Provide the initial code or draft and add the observed result of your checks. Request the next revision, then use the same acceptance criteria to review the updated answer.

Selecting an integration format

Use Chat Completions for the current V4 Pro or V4 Flash entry, or choose between that format and Responses for V4.1 Flash. Review the required fields, output settings and full token cost for your chosen workflow.

API development and conversation refinement

Follow the chosen response format

Send model and messages to /v1/chat/completions for any of the three entries. V4.1 Flash also offers /v1/responses with model and input, plus optional instructions. Authenticate with your Vidgo API credentials, consume the selected response format and inspect the returned text and usage fields.

Prepare an authenticated request

Use your Vidgo API credentials to authenticate the request to the selected endpoint. Send the exact model identifier, the conversation fields required by that protocol and the supported output settings. Consume the returned response using the same format you selected.

Keep relevant context for the next turn

Accumulate streaming text when the selected workflow streams, or read the complete response body when it returns a full reply. Inspect the final answer and returned usage fields, then keep the relevant messages for the next turn. Return to the model conversation when continuing the online task.
