How to Actually Build Agents with DeepSeek R1 in n8n (Without OpenRouter)

[@sangfroyd5405]

duuuude, i just spent an all nighter troubleshooting this, figured this out this morning and went to sleep, when i woke up you posted this 😔

[@nateherk]

Haha unfortunate timing!

[@sleepless-nite]

Credit to Leon Van Zyl on showing us on have to use R1 without open router! I’ll give him the credit for it!

[@HariPandalai]

I agree. Leon is truly good. I feel some of these videos are rampantly copied without being given credit. I found one eerily similar to another a month later here with no credits.

[@budipriyatno5853]

@sleepless-nite Please give me the yt video link..

[@leonvanzyl]

Thanks for the credit 😊. OpenRouter is definitely not needed when you can hit the DeepSeek endpoint directly. Nate, keep up the incredible work, bud.

[@amerrashed6287]

Thanks for sharing. Small tip . If you want to limit AI problems related to hallucinations especially before connecting to or sending requests to external service, e.g. gmail , use wait node and give it some time, example 10 sec, to prevent repetitive requests.

[@nateherk]

Interesting. I’ll have to play around with that concept.

[@RyanStephenAlldridge]

Thanks Nate! I’ve been loving your content recently, definitely going to join the community now. You mentioned what we would like to see- so much of business happens through Slack. Maybe a pinecone store with Deepseek to talk to slack messages?

[@stephensecord6919]

great video, big work around man. I will get involved in the community. This stuff is fun to learn.

[@kel78v2]

Thanks for this. Have you tried the reasoner model with react ai agent instead of just tool agent?

[@Thomas_automations]

Such a clever system. What is the pricing like for these software?

[@nateherk]

n8n can be free if you host it locally, otherwise you can start at $27/month

[@michaelrichardson4348]

Thanks for the video Nate, I am trying to follow along here as a non tech guy. It seams you skipped a step at 3:19. How did you get to that screen where you input the api data and the url? It says test r1 open ai on the top left. I searched for the deepseek tool and could not find it.

[@nateherk]

I show it at around 2:30. This is just configuring a new credential in n8n

[@sandorvasas611]

cool, thanks I just built it

[@haigazkeohulian2016]

Did it work , following this video?

[@jeffersonsofarelli469]

Amazing video man! Thanks for sharing this with us! Do you have a page where you list all the content available in the paid community? I would like to know what is there before joining

[@nateherk]

I would just check out the “About” section and please don’t hesitate to reach out if anything is unclear!

[@bens5875]

If Gpt 4o mini agent comes after deepseelk agent, is n't it a risk that gpt 4o mini ruins the request by deepseek? May be I don't get it entirely.

[@phani3519]

why this video dont have 1080p or 1440p?

[@nateherk]

Traveling and recorded on my laptop rather than my usual setup :/

[@Marrk_23]

Could you create a video demonstrating how GPT handles situations where key information is missing? For example, imagine I want to send an email to a client. I draft the entire email but forget to include the client's email address. In this case, GPT should respond with something like: "Thank you for the email draft, but I need the client's email address to proceed. Could you please provide it?" Additionally, it would be great to show how GPT can remember the email address for future interactions, so the next time I want to send an email to the same client, GPT already has the information and doesn’t need to ask again.

Hi. I build AI agent based on your tutorial . I want to access chat from my APP or Website . How can I do it ? I don’t want to log in to n8n each time I want to ask question. Does anyone knows how to ? Any tutorials ? ❤ thanks

[@amruthsagar6516]

👍👍

[@antoniomarf]

Incrível!

[@hiah3937]

Wouldn't this cost you more money than just using the one model since you're paying for deepseek + open ai's tokens?

[@nateherk]

Yes that is true, still super cheap models. If this framework is more efficient though, I will take better performance for an extra cost 10 out of 10 times!

[@realizeyourxyz]

i don't get it where do you get the deekseek r1 in n8n? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpvEdWlrhKiie5o and how do you gt to that screen to et up a new credential with baseurl?

[@nateherk]

You click on “Create a new credential” within the OpenAI chat model. I show this at 2:26.

[@coachXYZ]

For me it doesn't show the base URL just API key and ID

[@teloensenoen3minutos2023]

Dude, why don't you enable multi-language?

[@Felix-wb6qc]

openrouter costs are devious tho

[@nateherk]

Good thing we aren’t using OpenRouter!

Openrouter has gone awful rate limiting like a crazy man. Even when u pay it still limits all the time I gave up with it.

[@nateherk]

Good thing we aren’t using OpenRouter!

[@felixvemmer]

Huge fan of your content 💪 I just released a community node on top of Vercel AI SDK that has an implementation of a DeepSeek Node 😄 it's probably pretty much the same as you did with the baseurl, but looking to also build more around it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJjTfHdtd797mZosi=n5n1Hbe-vv0zk0ri&t=608

[@nitro5apenas825]

DeepSeek so slow!

[@nateherk]

Its reasoning capabilities are super powerful.
