Connect DeepSeek V4 Pro to OpenCode, Cline, and Cherry Studio | TeamoRouter

Quick Answer

OpenCode, Cline, and Cherry Studio differ in form, but connecting them to DeepSeek V4 Pro is the same move: add an OpenAI-compatible provider with a base URL, key, and model ID.

Shared config:

bash
Base URL : https://api.teamorouter.com/v1
API Key : sk-teamo-your-key
Model ID: deepseek-v4-pro-free   # free 200/day; or deepseek-v4-pro paid

Per-tool steps below.

OpenCode: Config-File Setup

OpenCode is the open-source, minimal terminal agent. Point it at the provider in its config (opencode.json or env vars):

json
{
  "provider": {
    "teamorouter": {
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://api.teamorouter.com/v1",
        "apiKey": "sk-teamo-your-key"
      },
      "models": {
        "deepseek-v4-pro-free": { "name": "DeepSeek V4 Pro Free" },
        "deepseek-v4-pro": { "name": "DeepSeek V4 Pro" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart OpenCode and switch to deepseek-v4-pro-free in the model picker. Field names may drift slightly by version, but the core is constant: baseURL → TeamoRouter, apiKey → your key, models → V4 Pro.

Cline: Pick "OpenAI Compatible"

Cline is the VS Code agent extension. Setup path:

  1. Open Cline settings (gear icon) → API ProviderOpenAI Compatible;
  2. Base URLhttps://api.teamorouter.com/v1;
  3. API Keysk-teamo-your-key;
  4. Model IDdeepseek-v4-pro-free (or deepseek-v4-pro).

Save, and Cline sends requests to TeamoRouter. V4 Pro's reasoning works in Cline too, fitting the read-code → edit → run-tests loop.

Cherry Studio: GUI Provider Setup

Cherry Studio is a desktop multi-model client — fully GUI:

  1. Settings → Model Services → Add an OpenAI-compatible provider;
  2. API address / Base URLhttps://api.teamorouter.com/v1;
  3. API Keysk-teamo-your-key;
  4. In the model list, pick deepseek-v4-pro or deepseek-v4-pro-free.

Cherry Studio suits mixed daily use — Claude, GPT, and DeepSeek in one window, switched on demand.

Which Tool to Pick

Tool Form Fits
OpenCode Terminal agent Minimal, customizable, scriptable
Cline VS Code extension Agent code edits inside the editor
Cherry Studio Desktop client Multi-model daily use + light coding

All three consume the same deepseek-v4-pro-free 200/day — try free, then commit.

Allocating the Free Quota

deepseek-v4-pro-free (200/day) and deepseek-v4-flash-free (200/day) can both live in a tool:

  • Daily explanations, small edits → deepseek-v4-flash-free;
  • Multi-file reasoning, hard work → deepseek-v4-pro-free;
  • Quota exhausted → switch to deepseek-v4-pro (flat $1.74/$3.48, no account limit).

FAQ

Does the base URL include /v1?

These three are all OpenAI-compatible, so yes: https://api.teamorouter.com/v1.

Why can't I find V4 Pro in Cline?

Confirm the provider type is OpenAI Compatible and the model ID is all lowercase with - separators. You can also GET /v1/models for the live list.

Can all three share one key?

Yes. One sk-teamo- key works across OpenCode, Cline, and Cherry Studio — one account, one bill.

Does V4 Pro's reasoning work in these tools?

Yes. Reasoning passes through the OpenAI-compatible interface; no special tool-side config.

What happens when the free quota runs out?

Change the model ID from deepseek-v4-pro-free to deepseek-v4-pro — a one-word switch to paid with no account limit.

Get a key at TeamoRouter, wire it into your tool of choice, and take the 200 free V4 Pro requests daily.
