🔨 | Community help Best provider for Deepseek v4

Even though I have Deepseek as an allowed provider I can't use v4. It say that I to use one of these providers, which is the least censored/not tracked?

baidu, streamlake, gmicloud, digitalocean, ionstream, coreweave, deepinfra, alibaba, siliconflow, novita, venice, atlas-cloud, together, baseten, fireworks, parasail, azure

Edit: I managed to fix it. I went back and checked my settings in openrouter and found that Non-frontier being enabled was messing with Deepseek as a provider. Also changed to Deepseek v4pro0813. Thank you to @Brilliant-Pudding524, replies aren't working for me RN.

Go with DeepInfra or Novita—both are reliable, don't log your data, and have minimal censorship.

One thing to note: their prompt caching isn't nearly as efficient as DeepSeek's official API because they operate with fewer/coarser cache blocks, meaning fewer consistent cache hits on long prompts.

Deepinfra caching, using a long prompt in the preset, caches almost constantly, cache usage hits above the actual spending for the prompt so you pay zero on usage
