DeepSeek releases API for its apps along with open source front end

DeepSeek released an API that exposes the capabilities behind its consumer app, including web and image search with citations, file and link handling, safety, and voice, with the model deepseek-flash (V4.1-Flash) supporting these features across Messages, Responses, and Chat Completions. Developers can enable built-in features with a few parameters or call standalone OCR, ASR, and TTS APIs, with tool calls and context assembly handled server-side, and DeepSeek published an open-source frontend demo that can import DeepSeek conversation history. The release lets developers recreate the full DeepSeek App in their own applications rather than rebuilding basic capabilities.
