Open WebUI integration
Connect DeepSeek to Open WebUI Through Tokuse
Open WebUI connects to OpenAI-compatible backends through its admin connection settings. One Tokuse connection can serve several model IDs, so you can switch models per chat.
Settings
- Connection type
- OpenAI API
- URL
- https://tokuse.com/v1
- Model
- deepseek-flash
- API key
- Your Tokuse key
Setup steps
- Open Admin Settings, then Connections.
- Add an OpenAI connection.
- Set the URL to https://tokuse.com/v1.
- Paste the Tokuse key and save the connection.
- Start a chat with deepseek-flash; switch to deepseek-v4-pro only for harder tasks.
Before production use
- Keep the Tokuse key on the server or in the tool's secret store.
- Use the base URL without appending /chat/completions.
- Verify the model alias in the current Tokuse catalog.
- Test errors, timeout behavior, and cost with a small workload first.
