Why does this link to OpenRouter, which has no useful information on its own? Linking to the official API or the benchmarks would make more sense:

- https://api-docs.deepseek.com/

- https://x.com/ChrisGPT/status/2087572834650407024/photo/1 (officially posted on WeChat, this is just one of many reposts)



There's no new page for this model. Hackernews didn't allow the same link be posted twice.


Is this a new rule? I've seen some popular blog posts reposted here several times and still highly upvoted.


I _think_ that has always been based on discretion of the mods. It’s only allowed after some period of time and if popular enough.


The software detects when an identical URL is submitted and will mark it as a duplicate (with certain conditions like how recently it was last submitted and whether it had any front page time and discussion).

When similar URLs or different versions of the same story are submitted and get votes/comments, we have to use discretion to work out which URL is best, who submitted first, which discussion is most active/healthy, and we'll try to consolidate the discussion into one thread with the most informative/canonical URL as the main link.


Bogus query params could work maybe


Please don't do that. Email us instead (hn@ycombinator.com) and we'll review.


i disagree


I don’t know about you but I find the information about prices, effective price (weighted average), providers and performance, benchmarks (down bottom) very useful. With openrouter I can even test it right away and compare with other models (use the chat functions).


As of now, there is only a single provider for this model and that's the official DeepSeek API.

When GPT 6 comes out, would you expect the top thread to link to OpenRouter?


DeepSeek really need to provide a PAGE for this model release. There's no blog post, there's not even a tweet. It's very unclear what we can link to!


Don’t you find the official document website was out of service for a long time since the new model was published soon?


Moreover, OpenRouter is NOT Open Source, fair source, source available, etc. It's a proprietary cloud service that got first place in the API aggregation distribution game.

Link to DeepSeek!


Open doesn't always refer to the code. Just like their previous project, it refers to an open marketplace where anybody can sign up to sell access to models.

But it'd still be nice to post to wait an extra minute to find some other page/new url from deepseek for it instead of posting that it exists somewhere.


it's not open, I know people rejected by them (then they went to my site to be listed Trustedrouter.com)


You accept any and every registration? I think that goes a bit beyond an open market and into a completely unregulated one I'd never want to route my sessions through. Thanks for providing the conflicting interest disclosure though, too often people don't bother.


No, not any


So why are rejections only a problem for the other marketplace's openness?


It is great for getting aggregate insights about the privacy and security picture of model providers.

For example if you want zero data retention and US -based hosting you can find that easily. You will not find that through Deepseek.


TrustedRouter is hosted and full opensource!


Do you know if it's more expensive than open router?


5% instead of 5.5%
