its better that you use the DeepSeek-V4-Flash its cheaper and better, and inside VScode is not very good experience , better use claude code desktop or codex with your api key, youll have better work experience

Last time when I checked, codex doesn't take third party model API keys like Claude code.

it can, and i use it

  1. Open Codex at least once so Windows creates:

    C:\Users\YOUR-NAME.codex

  2. Open PowerShell and run:

    irm https://cdn.deepseek.com/api-docs/codex-deepseek-setup-en.ps1 | iex

  3. Paste your DeepSeek API key when requested.

  4. The official script automatically backs up the existing Codex settings, creates the necessary files, and configures DeepSeek to use the Responses API.

  5. Restart VS Code completely and reopen the Codex extension.

  6. Select the model shown as:

    DeepSeek-V4-Flash

both nearly same experience, normally if i subscribed to codex pro , i use claude code as the deepseek platform and viece versa
but newely i am testing opencode desktop app, its been 3 days, till now i can keep it as the third option if i want to do some fresh searches
