DeepSeek executor guide
Use DeepSeek as a lower-cost executor for AI coding patches.
tokenpatch uses DeepSeek for bounded implementation work, not as a replacement for the strong model. The strong model still decides scope and reviews results; DeepSeek executes the narrow patch.
Best task shape
Use it for tasks with explicit files, clear acceptance criteria, and a patch that can be reviewed quickly.
Hosted credits later
tokenpatch.com hosted credits are planned as a convenience path for users who cannot manage DeepSeek directly.
| Executor mode | Who owns the key? | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek BYOK | User | Public release, local workflows, direct control. |
| tokenpatch hosted gateway | tokenpatch.com | Future private beta users who need managed credits. |
