Compare with a fixed evaluation set
- Task success
- Tool-call validity
- Long-context accuracy
- Output format stability
- Latency distribution
- Cost per accepted result
Migration approach
Keep the provider behind an application abstraction, map the new public model name in configuration, and run the evaluation set before changing production traffic.
No false substitution
This page does not claim that Qwen is identical to DeepSeek. It provides a testable alternative path when a required DeepSeek route is unavailable or unsuitable.
Common questions
Is the API compatible with the OpenAI SDK?
The public gateway follows the OpenAI-compatible chat completions pattern. Confirm model-specific features in the live catalog and documentation before production rollout.
Where do model availability and prices come from?
Public model pages read the active catalog exposed by the service. A model is not presented as available merely because its name appears in an article.
