A high-performance LLM inference API and Chat UI that integrates DeepSeek R1's CoT reasoning traces with Anthropic Claude models.
DeepReasoning is a Rust-based inference server and chat UI that chains DeepSeek R1 and Claude together in a single API call, using R1's chain-of-thought reasoning trace as a pre-processing step before handing off to Claude 3.5 Sonnet for final response generation. The server, built with Rust 1.75+, accepts requests at a local endpoint and authenticates separately against DeepSeek and Anthropic APIs via per-request headers, meaning users supply both API keys directly rather than routing credentials through a third party. It supports both standard and streaming responses, with configuration options for custom system prompts and per-model header and body overrides via a JSON request body. The project is self-hostable using a simple `config.toml` file specifying host, port, and pricing settings. Developers who want structured reasoning from R1 paired with Claude's code generation and conversational output in one request, without stitching together two separate API clients, are the primary audience.

## Overview
DeepReasoning is a high-performance LLM inference API that combines DeepSeek R1's Chain of Thought (CoT) reasoning capabilities with Anthropic Claude's creative and code generation prowess. It provides a unified interface for leveraging the strengths of both models while maintaining complete control over your API keys and data.
## Features
🚀 **Zero Latency** - Instant responses with R1's CoT followed by Claude's response in a single stream, powered by a high-performance Rust API
🔒 **Private & Secure** - End-to-end security with local API key management. Your data stays private
⚙️ **Highly Configurable** - Customize every aspect of the API and interface to match your needs
🌟 **Open Source** - Free and open-source codebase. Contribute, modify, and deploy as you wish
🤖 **Dual AI Power** - Combine DeepSeek R1's reasoning with Claude's creativity and code generation
🔑 **Managed BYOK API** - Use your own API keys with our managed infrastructure for complete control
## Why R1 + Claude?
DeepSeek R1's CoT trace demonstrates deep reasoning to the point of an LLM experiencing "metacognition" - correcting itself, thinking about edge cases, and performing quasi Monte Carlo Tree Search in natural language.
However, R1 lacks in code generation, creativity, and conversational skills. Claude 3.5 Sonnet excels in these areas, making it the perfect complement. DeepReasoning combines both models to provide:
- R1's exceptional reasoning and problem-solving capabilities
- Claude's superior code generation and creativity
- Fast streaming responses in a single API call
- Complete control with your own API keys
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Rust 1.75 or higher
- DeepSeek API key
- Anthropic API key
### Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/getasterisk/deepreasoning.git
cd deepreasoning
```
2. Build the project:
```bash
cargo build --release
```
### Configuration
Create a `config.toml` file in the project root:
```toml
[server]
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 3000
[pricing]
# Configure pricing settings for usage tracking
```
## API Usage
See [API Docs](https://deepreasoning.chat)
### Basic Example
```python
import requests
response = requests.post(
"http://127.0.0.1:1337/",
headers={
"X-DeepSeek-API-Token": "<YOUR_DEEPSEEK_API_KEY>",
"X-Anthropic-API-Token": "<YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY>"
},
json={
"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": "How many 'r's in the word 'strawberry'?"}
]
}
)
print(response.json())
```
### Streaming Example
```python
import asyncio
import json
import httpx
async def stream_response():
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
async with client.stream(
"POST",
"http://127.0.0.1:1337/",
headers={
"X-DeepSeek-API-Token": "<YOUR_DEEPSEEK_API_KEY>",
"X-Anthropic-API-Token": "<YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY>"
},
json={
"stream": True,
"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": "How many 'r's in the word 'strawberry'?"}
]
}
) as response:
response.raise_for_status()
async for line in response.aiter_lines():
if line:
if line.startswith('data: '):
data = line[6:]
try:
parsed_data = json.loads(data)
if 'content' in parsed_data:
content = parsed_data.get('content', '')[0]['text']
print(content, end='',flush=True)
else:
print(data, flush=True)
except json.JSONDecodeError:
pass
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(stream_response())
```
## Configuration Options
The API supports extensive configuration through the request body:
```json
{
"stream": false,
"verbose": false,
"system": "Optional system prompt",
"messages": [...],
"deepseek_config": {
"headers": {},
"body": {}
},
"anthropic_config": {
"headers": {},
"body": {}
}
}
```
## Self-Hosting
DeepReasoning can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure. Follow these steps:
1. Configure environment variables or `config.toml`
2. Build the Docker image or compile from source
3. Deploy to your preferred hosting platform
