The Deepseek node connects to Deepseek’s large language models for processing natural language prompts and generating responses. It integrates LLM functionality into your workflow through token-based API authentication. This node is typically used for tasks such as text generation, code creation, reasoning, and conversational AI.
Inputs and Outputs
-
Input Channels
Prompt – Primary text input for the model
Questions – Accepts plain text prompts or user-generated questions
Documents – Document objects for context
System – System instructions for the model
-
Output Channels
Text – Generated text output
Answers – Model-generated response that can be passed to other nodes
Configuration:
