DeepSeek's API now accepts Anthropic SDK format at api.deepseek.com/anthropic — meaning Claude Code, the Anthropic Python/TS SDK, and any Anthropic-native client can now route requests to DeepSeek V4 models without an OpenAI wrapper.
DeepSeek published an official integration guide for Claude Code, OpenCode, and OpenClaw — revealing a per-tier model routing pattern that operators can apply across any Anthropic-compatible gateway.
DeepSeek deprecates deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner on July 24, 2026. Routing configs must migrate to deepseek-v4-flash or deepseek-v4-pro. A new Anthropic-compatible endpoint also changes how Claude Code users wire DeepSeek into their agent workflows.
