DeepSeek V3 is a powerful open source model that performs well on aider's polyglot benchmark.
However, the results can vary significantly depending on which provider is serving the model.
DeepSeek's API has been experiencing significant reliability issues for the past 24-48+ hours, with many users reporting downtime and overload problems.
This article compares DeepSeek V3 results from multiple providers to help you choose the best option for your needs.
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:
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
For example, to use OpenRouter:
```bash
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=<your-key>
aider --model openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v3
```
