Quickstart
Add a Model
Register a model with AIChannel and AIService.
Create an AIChannel, implement its standard V3 stream, then register an AIModelSpec:
class DeepSeekChannel extends AIChannel {
constructor() {
super({
id: "deepseek",
env_key: "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY",
base_url: "https://api.deepseek.com/v1",
ai_sdk_provider_id: "deepseek",
});
}
protected async stream(input: AIChannelStreamInput) {
const deepseek = createDeepSeek({
apiKey: read_required_env(input, this.env_key ?? ""),
baseURL: this.base_url,
});
return deepseek(input.model.upstream_model).doStream(input.call);
}
}
const channel = new DeepSeekChannel();
const ai = new AIService();
ai.use(channel.model({
id: "deepseek-v4-flash",
upstream_model: "deepseek-chat",
name: "DeepSeek V4 Flash",
context_window: 128_000,
}));
federation.use(ai);This single stream() implementation powers city.ai.text(), city.ai.stream(), CityModel, and /v1/ai/chat/completions.
