DeepSeek Harness (gateway)

Route DeepSeek Harness ’ LLM calls through the Respan gateway for automatic logging, caching, and model switching. dsh supports custom OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible providers, so only your RESPAN_API_KEY is needed.

Setup

Install dsh

Terminal


npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh

Add Respan as a provider

Edit $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml (defaults to ~/.dsh/settings.yaml) and add a provider under the llm-pi-ai section:

YAML


llm-pi-ai:
  providers:
    respan:
      apiKeyEnv: RESPAN_API_KEY
      api: openai-completions
      baseURL: https://gateway.respan.ai
      models:
        - id: gpt-4o
        - id: claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929

apiKeyEnv is the name of the environment variable that holds your key. Export it in your shell profile:

Terminal


export RESPAN_API_KEY="YOUR_RESPAN_API_KEY"

You can do the same from the web UI: run dsh web, open Settings, then Models, choose Add a custom provider, and fill in the provider ID respan, the base URL https://gateway.respan.ai, the openai-completions protocol, your key, and at least one model.

No separate provider key needed. The Respan gateway handles provider authentication.

Make Respan the default model

dsh’s profiles default to the deepseek-official route. Override the default model with a patch overlay. Save this as ~/.dsh/respan.yml:

YAML


- id: agent-default-model
  config:
    provider: respan
    model: gpt-4o

Run dsh

Terminal


dsh --profile tui --patch ~/.dsh/respan.yml

For a one-shot, non-interactive run:

Terminal


dsh --profile headless --patch ~/.dsh/respan.yml "your task"

All LLM calls now route through Respan.

Switch models

Add more entries under models and change model in the patch overlay (or pick a model in the UI) to use any of the 1000+ models available through the gateway.
