DeepSeek is an excellent choice for powering Neuro:
✅ Cost-Effective - Often cheaper than OpenAI
✅ High Performance - Competitive with GPT-4
✅ Fast - Low latency responses
✅ OpenAI-Compatible API - Easy to integrate
- Visit: https://platform.deepseek.com
- Sign up / Log in
- Go to API Keys
- Create new API key
- Copy the key (starts with
sk-...)
Windows (PowerShell):
$env:DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="sk-your-key-here"Windows (Command Prompt):
set DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-your-key-hereMac/Linux:
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-your-key-herePermanent (add to .env file):
echo "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here" > .env
pip install python-dotenvpython neuro my_job_search.neuroYou'll see:
✓ AI parsing enabled with DeepSeek
That's it! AI is now active! 🎉
| Feature | DeepSeek | OpenAI GPT-4 |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | ~$0.14 per 1M tokens | ~$30 per 1M tokens |
| Speed | Fast | Fast |
| Quality | Excellent (comparable to GPT-4) | Excellent |
| API | OpenAI-compatible | Native |
| Privacy | China-based | US-based |
DeepSeek is ~200x cheaper! 💰
Once DeepSeek is configured, you can use natural language:
// Must follow exact syntax
pipeline FindJobs {
goal: "Find AI engineer jobs"
target_roles: ["ai engineer", "ml engineer"]
locations: ["remote", "US"]
}
// Natural language works!
goal: "yo find me some remote ai jobs, i know python and pytorch"
DeepSeek understands:
- "yo" = casual greeting
- "find me" = search action
- "remote ai jobs" = remote AI engineer positions
- "i know python and pytorch" = skills filter
Neuro automatically:
- Searches job boards
- Filters for Python/PyTorch requirements
- Prioritizes remote positions
- Generates report
"I'm transitioning from QA to AI engineering, find me entry-level remote positions"
{
"intent_type": "job_search",
"target_roles": ["ai engineer"],
"experience_level": "entry-level",
"locations": ["remote"],
"inferred": {
"current_role": "qa engineer",
"career_transition": true,
"needs": ["resume_help", "skill_gap_analysis"]
}
}- ✓ Searches for entry-level AI jobs
- ✓ Prioritizes remote positions
- ✓ Generates transition-focused resume suggestions
- ✓ Provides skill recommendations
from openai import OpenAI
# DeepSeek uses OpenAI-compatible API
client = OpenAI(
api_key=os.getenv('DEEPSEEK_API_KEY'),
base_url="https://api.deepseek.com"
)
# Use deepseek-chat model
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-chat",
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "Parse Neuro intent"},
{"role": "user", "content": goal}
]
)It's that simple! Same OpenAI client library, different endpoint.
Per Job Search Run:
- Parse intent: ~1,000 tokens
- Cost with DeepSeek: ~$0.0001
- Cost with OpenAI: ~$0.02
Monthly (30 runs):
- DeepSeek: ~$0.003 (basically free!)
- OpenAI: ~$0.60
DeepSeek is 200x cheaper! 🎯
Neuro checks for API keys in this order:
- DEEPSEEK_API_KEY - Preferred (cheap, fast)
- OPENAI_API_KEY - Fallback (more expensive)
- Pattern matching - No API needed (free, works offline)
Set DeepSeek first for best value!
❌ Don't:
api_key = "sk-1234..." # Hard-coded in code✅ Do:
# Environment variable
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...
# Or .env file
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...For GitHub Actions: Add as repository secret:
- Settings → Secrets → Actions → New secret
