    Open Kilo BYOK settings

    Open the Kilo BYOK page and choose DeepSeek from the provider list.

  3. 3

    Add the deepseek api key

    Paste the DeepSeek credential, complete any provider-specific fields, and save it. Kilo validates the configuration before using it.

  4. 4

    Select a model and verify usage

    Choose a model supplied by DeepSeek, send a test request, and confirm the request appears in your provider usage dashboard.

Before you connect

  • Keep enough provider balance for requests to succeed.
  • Model identifiers can change; select from Kilo’s current provider catalog rather than relying on old aliases.
