# <span style={{ 'color': 'gray' }}>module</span>  pixeltable.functions.deepseek

Pixeltable UDFs for Deepseek AI models.

Provides integration with Deepseek's language models for chat completions
and other AI capabilities.

## <span style={{ 'color': 'gray' }}>udf</span>  chat\_completions()

```python Signature theme={null}
@pxt.udf
chat_completions(messages: pxt.Json[(Json, *, model: pxt.String, model_kwargs: pxt.Json | None = None, tools: pxt.Json[(Json = None, tool_choice: pxt.Json | None = None) -> pxt.Json
```

Creates a model response for the given chat conversation.

Equivalent to the Deepseek `chat/completions` API endpoint.
For additional details, see: [https://api-docs.deepseek.com/api/create-chat-completion](https://api-docs.deepseek.com/api/create-chat-completion)

Deepseek uses the OpenAI SDK, so you will need to install the `openai` package to use this UDF.

Request throttling:
Applies the rate limit set in the config (section `deepseek`, key `rate_limit`). If no rate
limit is configured, uses a default of 600 RPM.

**Requirements:**

* `pip install openai`

**Parameters:**

* **`messages`** (`pxt.Json[(Json`): A list of messages to use for chat completion, as described in the Deepseek API documentation.
* **`model`** (`Any`): The model to use for chat completion.
* **`model_kwargs`** (`Any`): Additional keyword args for the Deepseek `chat/completions` API.
  For details on the available parameters, see: [https://api-docs.deepseek.com/api/create-chat-completion](https://api-docs.deepseek.com/api/create-chat-completion)
* **`tools`** (`Any`): An optional list of Pixeltable tools to use for the request.
* **`tool_choice`** (`Any`): An optional tool choice configuration.

**Returns:**

* `pxt.Json`: A dictionary containing the response and other metadata.

**Examples:**

Add a computed column that applies the model `deepseek-chat` to an existing Pixeltable column `tbl.prompt` of the table `tbl`:

```python  theme={null}
messages = [
    {'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a helpful assistant.'},
    {'role': 'user', 'content': tbl.prompt},
]
tbl.add_computed_column(
    response=chat_completions(messages, model='deepseek-chat')
)
```
