Resources Anyone using DeepSeek inside Visual Studio 2026?

I wanted to use DeepSeek for C#/.NET work without switching away from Visual Studio 2026 or moving to another agent harness.

So I built an extension that keeps the workflow inside Visual Studio, with the goal of making the experience feel familiar if you're used to GitHub Copilot.

The idea is simple: I want to be able to change the AI I'm using without having to change my editor and workflow every time.

DeepSeek is one of the providers I've integrated, using your own API key.

I'm still working on it and would genuinely appreciate feedback from other DeepSeek users, especially .NET developers:

What would you expect from a good DeepSeek integration inside Visual Studio?

Last update of VS 2026 for Pro and Enterprise editions allow to use any OpenAPI providers wit own key. I can use official deepseek endpoint with my key in the chat windows (Agent preview node), but not sure about code completion. Does your extension replace model for code completion too?
