  • coding assistants on a budget
  • eval baselines

How to use / API access

Call via OpenRouter with model id `deepseek/deepseek-r1`.

  • openrouter · deepseek/deepseek-r1 Docs

OpenRouter id: deepseek/deepseek-r1

Benchmarks

  • Intelligence Index (artificial-analysis) : 18.5 index
  • Coding Index (artificial-analysis) : 24.6 index
  • Agentic Index (artificial-analysis) : 3.1 index

Enterprise DNA angle

Omni lets teams A/B DeepSeek against Sonnet on real jobs with shared eval harnesses.

Notes

R1 is listed in the EDNA Models directory from the OpenRouter catalogue.

Pros

  • Strong reasoning at aggressive price points
  • Good coding signal for the cost
  • Useful open-weight-adjacent economics via OpenRouter

Cons

  • Ecosystem and safety tooling less mature than frontier US labs
  • Quality variance across tasks — eval before production
