😭 Introduction

⚠️ Account Status Update

2025-02-21 Update: Our shared OpenAI account strategy (used for months across multiple IPs) has now been officially restricted.

🚀 Proxy API Access Solution

To prevent future restrictions, we've transitioned from monthly subscription models to pay-as-you-go API request pricing with these advantages:

• Multi-model support: Simultaneous access to OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek
• Cost efficiency: Pay only for actual API usage

🇨🇳 Domestic API Provider

Endpoint: https://api.deerapi.com
API Key: sk-xxxxxx

Supported models:

• OpenAI
• Anthropic
• DeepSeek

💻 Local Chat Client Setup

Recommended client: NextChat

Configuration Guide

1. In client settings:
   • Endpoint: https://api.deerapi.com
   • API Key: Use the provided key above
2. For custom models (e.g., o3-minideepseek-reasoner):
   • Add via "Custom Models" section
   • Refer to provider documentation for model specifics

🛑 Known Limitations

1. File Conversion Unsupported

   • Native file conversion discontinued (cost-related decision by OpenAI)
   • Workaround: Implement cloud-based embedding solutions

2. Local Chat Storage

   • ✅ Pros: Enhanced security (data stays local)
   • ⚠️ Cons: Multi-device synchronization unavailable

🔧 Usage Recommendations

• Download client packages from official sources
• Regularly rotate API keys for sensitive operations
• Monitor usage via provider dashboard
