How can they? If you use openrouter Deepseek fine but can’t you select the model direct from Deepseek you’re basically getting api access models that way.

If you disable all other providers but DeepSeek in your OpenRouter guardrails, is that effectively the same thing?

What pests said. And you can make a preset and pass "model": "@preset/deep-seek"
