Key points at a glance
- BYOK: use your own DeepSeek account and quota.
- Cost-effective — a great main model for everyday characters.
- Mix with premium models: premium for core characters, DeepSeek for everyday ones.
How to connect
In model settings, choose DeepSeek as the provider and enter your API key to set it as the default or assign it per character. A common approach is to run most characters on DeepSeek to control cost, with a few core characters on a higher-end model.
Who it's for
Users who care about call cost and want frequent long-term use without runaway bills. Enclave's per-character model assignment lets you flexibly trade off quality and cost.
