ANTHROPIC_MODEL=deepseek-v4-pro[1m] ANTHROPIC_SUBAGENT_MODEL=deepseek-v4-flash
This is what I’ve been using for non-confidential projects for about a week now (soon after v4 came out). I honestly can’t tell the difference, but I’m not doing anything crazy with it either.
Worth noting that I don’t think DeepSeek‘s API lets you opt out of training. Once this is up on other providers though… (OpenRouter is just proxying to DeepSeek atm)
For those that don't want their data trained on, OpenRouter allows you to have account-wide or per-request routing with either provider.data_collection: "deny" or zdr: true (zero data retention).
Also, you can use HuggingFace Inference for DeepSeek V4 or Kimi K2.6, both of which work quite well and route through providers that you can enable/disable (like Together AI, DeepInfra, etc) - you'll have to check their policies but I think most of those commercial inference providers claim to not train on your data either.
That doesn't work, if you do that it will mark DeepSeek's models with a warning symbol along with the error "paid model training violation".
In a sense, it's working as intended. If you set zdr to true, you currently can't use DeepSeek v4. However, once other providers offer it (it is an open model, after all), some may allow zdr.

I wonder why the question about data security and training comes often with DeepSeek, Kimi, Glm and never with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google models.
Why is that?
IIRC, USA data protection protects data of US citizens only, foreigners data is not protected, and the companies are not even allowed to disclose when they collect those data.
Because Anthropic, at least, gives you the option to opt out of training? I think Google and OpenAI do, too.

HN is an American site. If you look at the US government, it is going to fearmonger about anything China related, because they haven't had a genuine competitor for decades and they're scared and lashing out. Most US news just parrot the government line, sometimes more so than state TV would, and so it reflects here.
I also feel comfortable saying that many Americans don't care one bit what happens to foreigners, be it by action of their government or companies.

As of now, OpenRouter offers multiple providers for DeepSeek with ZDR (not sure if they respect it but still).
At several times the price of DeepSeek, though, so it's a tradeoff... Even then Pro is still cheaper than Haiku.
I wanted to try this. To bring back opus and sonnet do I just reset those env's?
yes, this is pretty much just rerouting Claude to call Deepseek's Anthropic-style-compatible endpoints instead of its own defaults Once removed, it'll work just like before
Correct.
