DeepSeek's API has been experiencing significant reliability issues for the past 24-48+ hours, with many users reporting downtime and overload problems.
Their [status page](https://status.deepseek.com) notes an ongoing incident.
If you're affected by these issues, several alternative providers offer access to DeepSeek models. This article compares their performance on aider's polyglot benchmark to help you choose a reliable alternative.

## Using alternative providers
The benchmark results below show that several providers offer comparable or better performance than DeepSeek's native API. To switch providers, you'll need to:
To use these providers, you'll need to create an account with them and obtain an API key.
1. Sign up for an account with your chosen alternative provider
2. Get their API key
3. Update your aider configuration to use their endpoint
## OpenRouter
For example, to use OpenRouter:
[OpenRouter offers many DeepSeek providers](https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-chat/providers)
through their unified API.
You can use aider with OpenRouter like this:
```bash
# Set your API key using environment variables

## Configuring model settings
You may want to configure specific settings when using alternative providers. For example, you can control which OpenRouter providers are used to serve the model, or set other model parameters.
OpenRouter automatically monitors their providers and routes requests to stable
APIs and away from those experiencing unreliable performance.
But not all providers serve the same version of open source models, and not
all have the same privacy guarantees.
You can control which OpenRouter providers are used to serve the model via
[aider's model settings](https://aider.chat/docs/config/adv-model-settings.html#model-settings).
Create a `.aider.model.settings.yml` file in your home directory or git project root with settings like this:

Different providers may need different settings. For example, here's a configuration for using Fireworks:

## Other providers
You will need to properly configure aider to work with DeepSeek V3 when served
via alternate providers.
Aider is pre-configured to work well with V3 served via DeepSeek's direct API and via OpenRouter.
For other providers, you should adapt this example configuration for using DeepSeek V3
via Fireworks.
You'll need to change the `name` field to match you chosen provider's model naming scheme.
