LobeHub

Integrate with LobeHub

LobeHub is your Chief Agent Operator. It organizes your agents into 7×24 operation. It hires, schedules, reports on your entire AI team. You stay in charge — without staying online.

1. Prepare LobeHub and a DeepSeek API Key

Use the hosted web app, the desktop app, or a self-hosted LobeHub instance:

  • Web: open app.lobehub.com.
  • Desktop: download the macOS app from the LobeHub download page.
  • Self-hosted: make sure your instance is updated to a recent build that includes DeepSeek V4 models.

Then create an API Key from the DeepSeek Platform.

2. Configure the DeepSeek Provider

Open LobeHub and go to Settings → Service Model. You can also open the DeepSeek provider page directly:

https://app.lobehub.com/settings/provider/deepseek
  1. Select DeepSeek in the provider list.
  2. Make sure the provider switch in the upper-right corner is enabled.
  3. Paste your DeepSeek API Key into API Key.
  4. Leave API Proxy URL empty unless you use a custom proxy. The default endpoint is https://api.deepseek.com.
  5. Optional: click Check under Connectivity Check. LobeHub uses deepseek-v4-flash as the default check model.
  6. In Model List, confirm that DeepSeek V4 Pro and DeepSeek V4 Flash are enabled. If needed, click Fetch models to refresh the provider model list.

3. Select a DeepSeek V4 Model

Return to Home or open any agent chat.

  1. Click the current model chip in the chat input toolbar.
  2. Search for DeepSeek V4.
  3. Choose DeepSeek V4 Pro for coding, long-horizon planning, and agent workflows, or DeepSeek V4 Flash for lower-latency everyday chat.
  4. Send a message to start the conversation.

DeepSeek V4 models expose a 1M context window in LobeHub. The built-in model cards already carry the right context metadata, so no separate context-window setting is required.

4. Tune Reasoning Intensity

DeepSeek V4 thinking mode is available in LobeHub's model parameter controls, opened from the upper-right corner of the chat page. For normal usage, keep the default high reasoning intensity. For difficult coding, planning, and multi-step agent tasks, set Reasoning Intensity to max.

Available DeepSeek V4 reasoning levels in LobeHub:

  • none
  • high
  • max

5. Optional: Self-Hosting Environment Variables

If you self-host LobeHub and want the server to provide DeepSeek credentials globally, add the following environment variables and restart the service:

DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxx
DEEPSEEK_PROXY_URL=https://api.deepseek.com

To restrict the visible DeepSeek model list to V4 models only, add:

DEEPSEEK_MODEL_LIST=-all,+deepseek-v4-pro,+deepseek-v4-flash

For most hosted web and desktop users, the UI configuration in Settings → Service Model → DeepSeek is enough.

Troubleshooting

  • 401 or authentication errors: recheck the API Key and make sure it is pasted into API Key, not API Proxy URL.
  • Model not found: refresh the model list and confirm that the enabled model ids are deepseek-v4-pro and deepseek-v4-flash.
  • Connection check fails with a proxy: the proxy URL must include http:// or https:// and should route to the DeepSeek-compatible API endpoint.
  • Reasoning controls are missing: make sure you selected DeepSeek V4 Pro or DeepSeek V4 Flash, not another provider's routed model.
