Production keys do not cover the four newest Command models, whose limits are set by sales, and the SaaS agreement lets Cohere share API data with third parties.\n\n**DeepSeek API.** Accepts both OpenAI and Anthropic request formats. 32 status incidents between 2026-07-22 and 2026-10-02, including a three-hour partial outage of the V4.1 Flash API on 2026-09-14.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cohere Chat API (Command models)\n\n1. Call `POST https://api.cohere.com/v2/chat` with `Authorization: bearer \u003ckey\u003e`. `model` and `messages` are the only required fields\n2. Use `command-a-03-2025`, `command-r-08-2024`, `command-r-plus-08-2024` or `command-r7b-12-2024` for production traffic. Newer variants stay at trial limits on a production key\n3. Keep a trial key under 20 chat requests a minute and 1,000 calls a month, and do not use it for commercial work\n4. Set `response_format` with a `json_schema` for structured output, and tell the model to produce JSON when using `json_object` without a schema\n5. Ask the account Owner to turn off training under Data Controls in the dashboard before sending confidential prompts\n\n### DeepSeek API\n\n1. Send only data you'd be happy to publish\n2. Schedule bulk work off-peak for half price. Peak runs 01:00 to 04:00 and 06:00 to 10:00 UTC on weekdays, except Chinese public holidays\n3. Set `max_tokens` yourself. It defaults to 8K without thinking and 64K with it, against a 384K ceiling\n4. For schema-checked tool arguments use base URL `https://api.deepseek.com/beta`, set `strict: true`, mark every property required and set `additionalProperties: false`\n5. Keep a fallback provider and check the `model` field. 429 carries no Retry-After, and `deepseek-v4-flash` now answers as V4.1 Flash\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cohere Chat API (Command models) or DeepSeek API?\n\nCohere Chat API (Command models) scores 64.7 (B) on agent readiness against DeepSeek API's 46.8 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Cohere Chat API (Command models) and DeepSeek API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cohere Chat API (Command models) and DeepSeek API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cohere Chat API (Command models) has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cohere.com/v2/chat and DeepSeek API at https://api.deepseek.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cohere-chat-vs-deepseek-api.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cohere-chat-vs-deepseek-api.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cohere-chat\", \"b\": \"deepseek-api\"}`.
