A VS Code extension that adds DeepSeek V4 Flash, Pro, and Flash Vision Exp models to the GitHub Copilot Chat model picker. It lets developers use their own DeepSeek API key while keeping Copilot's agent mode, tool calling, MCP, and UI intact.

Use cases

• use deepseek models in github copilot chat
• bring your own api key to copilot
• keep copilot agent mode but run deepseek
• add deepseek to the copilot model picker
• send image attachments to deepseek in vscode
• use copilot tool calling with deepseek models

When to choose

• you already pay for or use GitHub Copilot and want DeepSeek's price-performance
• you want to keep Copilot's agent mode, MCP, and chat UI rather than switching extensions
• you want BYOK billing directly with DeepSeek and key storage in the OS keychain
• you need image support via native vision or a vision proxy

When to avoid

• you don't use VS Code or GitHub Copilot Chat
• you want a standalone DeepSeek chat client without Copilot
• you're unwilling to pay DeepSeek API costs directly
• you need models other than DeepSeek V4 variants
