deepseek-go

deepseek-go is a Visual Studio Code extension that brings an AI-powered chatbot directly into your development environment. Powered by DeepSeek's deep reasoning model (R1) and with plans to integrate a fast, non-reasoning model in future updates, this extension is designed to help you quickly access insights, code suggestions, and general assistance without ever leaving VS Code.

Features

• Integrated Chatbot: Engage with a chatbot right in your editor for coding help, debugging tips, and more.
• Deep Reasoning Model (R1): Currently powered by DeepSeek's advanced deep reasoning model to provide context-aware and thoughtful responses.
• Planned High-Performance Mode: Future updates will introduce a non-reasoning model option for faster performance.
• Seamless VS Code Experience: Designed to work natively within VS Code, allowing you to remain focused on your code.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code: Version 1.50.0 or later is recommended.
• Internet Connection: Required for accessing the DeepSeek models.
• No Additional Dependencies: All necessary functionality is included within the extension.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings which can be customized in your VS Code settings:

• deepseek-go.enable: Enable or disable the deepseek-go extension.
• deepseek-go.model: Choose the model to use (default is "R1"). Future releases may include options like "fast" for the non-reasoning model.
• deepseek-go.apiKey: (Optional) Provide your API key if additional authentication is needed to access enhanced model capabilities.
