DeepSeek

Why isn't structured data an output option when I'm using DeepSeek as my model provider?

DeepSeek does not yet support structured data outputs. If you're using DeepSeek as your AI step model provider, either with AI credits or your own credentials, you'll see that the only output option available is plain text.

If you want to use DeepSeek with your AI steps, consider following the AI step with another AI step (like "Prompt any model" or "Write") that formats the output from DeepSeek in the way you need.

Why can't I select DeepSeek for AI extraction steps?

AI extraction steps output structured data. As DeepSeek does not natively support outputting structured data, DeepSeek can't yet be used as the model for AI extract steps.
