Description

Trying to use DeepSeek with Continue on VS Code.
curl test confirms my DeepSeek API key works. But when I prompt for model name and context window I get "I'm Claude 3.5 Sonnet (by Anthropic), and my context window is 200,000 tokens."

curl test
function ask() {
curl -s https://api.deepseek.com/v1/chat/completions
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Authorization: Bearer API_KEY"
-d "{"model":"deepseek-v4-flash","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"$*"}]}"
| jq -r '.choices[0].message.content'
}

ask "What model are you?"
