Send LLM Messages to the DeepSeek Chat API

Source: R/api_deepseek.R
deepseek_chat.Rd

This function sends a message history to the DeepSeek Chat API and returns the assistant's reply. Currently tool calls cause problems on the DeepSeek API

Usage

deepseek_chat(
  .llm,
  .model = "deepseek-chat",
  .max_tokens = 2048,
  .temperature = NULL,
  .top_p = NULL,
  .frequency_penalty = NULL,
  .presence_penalty = NULL,
  .stop = NULL,
  .stream = FALSE,
  .logprobs = NULL,
  .top_logprobs = NULL,
  .tools = NULL,
  .tool_choice = NULL,
  .api_url = "https://api.deepseek.com/",
  .timeout = 60,
  .verbose = FALSE,
  .dry_run = FALSE,
  .max_tries = 3
)

Arguments

.llm

An LLMMessage object containing the conversation history.

.model

The identifier of the model to use (default: "deepseek-chat").

.max_tokens

The maximum number of tokens that can be generated in the response (default: 2048).

.temperature

Controls the randomness in the model's response. Values between 0 and 2 are allowed (optional).

.top_p

Nucleus sampling parameter that controls the proportion of probability mass considered (optional).

.frequency_penalty

Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Penalizes repeated tokens to reduce repetition (optional).

.presence_penalty

Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Encourages new topics by penalizing tokens that have appeared so far (optional).

.stop

One or more sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens (optional).

.stream

Logical; if TRUE, streams the response piece by piece (default: FALSE).

.logprobs

If TRUE, returns log probabilities of each output token (default: FALSE).

.top_logprobs

Number between 0 and 5 specifying the number of top log probabilities to return (optional).

.tools

Either a single TOOL object or a list of TOOL objects representing the available functions for tool calls.

.tool_choice

A character string specifying the tool-calling behavior; valid values are "none", "auto", or "required" (optional).

.api_url

Base URL for the DeepSeek API (default: "https://api.deepseek.com/").

.timeout

Request timeout in seconds (default: 60).

.verbose

If TRUE, displays additional information after the API call (default: FALSE).

.dry_run

If TRUE, returns the constructed request object without executing it (default: FALSE).

.max_tries

Maximum retries to perform the request (default: 3).

Value

A new LLMMessage object containing the original messages plus the assistant's response.
