DeepSeek's Hard Cutoff: Developers Have 14 Days to Migrate Before July 24 Deadline

DeepSeek will permanently retire its deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner API aliases on July 24, 2026, ending the 90-day migration window that began when V4 launched in April. After that date, every call to the legacy endpoints returns an error with no grace period. The one-line migration is simple; the capability mapping between deepseek-reasoner and V4 Flash is not.
