Help: Integrate API call support for local DeepSeek models in Agno

General
1

I am using the Agno tool for development, but I found that I cannot directly call the local DeepSeek model provided by the company. We have obtained the base_url and api-key of the model and hope to call the model in Agno. Since Agno does not seem to support the configuration or extension of custom APIs at present, the development team is needed to assist in evaluation and provide possible solutions or adaptation methods.

Please help the development team to confirm the following points:

Does Agno support calling external models through custom API configuration;

If supported, please provide relevant configuration instructions or documents;
If not supported, can this feature be considered in subsequent versions, or are there other alternatives.

Thank you!

Hey @kepler

If it’s urgent, please let us know. We appreciate your patience!

Hey @kepler

Yes, Agno fully supports calling external models. You can pass the api_key and base_url to the model directly. Sharing the doc for it:

Additionally , you can give OpenAILike model a try as well : OpenAI Like - Agno
