Please Bring Back DeepSeek Models to the Groq API

Feature Requests

Hello dear Groq Community and the Groq Team,

First of all, a big compliment to the Groq team for the groundbreaking technology. The speed and low latency of the LPUs are an absolute game-changer and the main reason why so many developers rely on the Groq API.

In this context, I would like to address a request that is frequently voiced within the community: The renewed integration of DeepSeek models.

As seen in previous discussions like this one, the temporary availability of DeepSeek models demonstrated how powerful the combination of Groq’s speed and these capable models truly is. The fact that they are no longer available is seen by many as a significant loss.

Why is the return of DeepSeek so valuable from a community perspective?

  1. Technical Capability & Diversity: DeepSeek models, particularly for complex reasoning tasks, have proven to be extremely robust and capable. They were an excellent addition to the existing model lineup and gave developers more choices for specific use cases.

  2. Unique Price-to-Performance Ratio: DeepSeek offered a compelling price-to-performance ratio. The return of these models would make the Groq API attractive for an even wider range of projects and applications.

  3. Platform Attractiveness: The availability of popular and powerful models like those from DeepSeek makes the Groq platform as a whole more interesting and attracts more developers who come to appreciate the benefits of extremely fast inference.

  4. Strong Demand: In various online discussions, including this forum, the desire for the return of DeepSeek is regularly and clearly expressed.

Our Call to Action / Feature Request:

We would like to ask the Groq team to make every effort to reintegrate the DeepSeek models into the Groq API offering.

We understand that such decisions depend on many factors, but from a user perspective, this would be a major step forward for the platform.

Question for the Groq Team:
Can you give us any insight into whether there are perspectives or plans for renewed collaboration with DeepSeek?

Best regards,

Thank you for the impassioned request! Personally, I’d love to see R2 in our service, whenever they launch it (hopefully soon!)

Yes, exactly, but the problem is that we can no longer use a DeepSeek model on Groq.

What did you like about the deepseek models that other models like gpt-oss and kimi lacks?

6

The performance and I found that DeepSeek has more text per API call and is somehow more detailed, which is particularly important to me.

oh interesting, will definitely look forward to the next DeepSeek model!
