DeepSeek

​

Introduction

Langtrace provides native support for DeepSeek’s family of models. When using DeepSeek models, Langtrace automatically captures essential metrics including:

• Token usage
• Cost
• Latency
• Model hyperparameters

​

Prerequisites

Before integrating DeepSeek with Langtrace, ensure you have:

• A Langtrace account with an API key
• DeepSeek API credentials
• Python environment (3.6 or later)

​

Installation

1. Install the Langtrace Python SDK:

pip install -U langtrace-python-sdk

2. Set up your environment variables:

export LANGTRACE_API_KEY=YOUR_LANGTRACE_API_KEY

​

Integration

Initialize Langtrace before importing any LLM modules:

import os
from langtrace_python_sdk import langtrace  # Must precede any llm module imports
from openai import OpenAI

# Initialize Langtrace
langtrace.init(api_key=os.environ['LANGTRACE_API_KEY'])

# Initialize DeepSeek client
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="<DeepSeek API Key>",
    base_url="https://api.deepseek.com"
)

# Example: Create a chat completion
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-chat",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant"},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"},
    ],
    stream=False
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

​

Viewing Traces

After integration, you can view your DeepSeek model traces in the Langtrace dashboard. The traces will include:

• Request/response payloads
• Token usage metrics
• Cost information
• Latency measurements
• Model configuration details
