  Thanks to OpenModel for sponsoring this project! OpenModel offers client-specific discounts of
  up to 90% for Codex and 60% for Claude Code across supported models, helping developers cut API
  costs without changing how they work. Just connect your OpenModel API key and keep using Codex
  or Claude Code as usual — supported clients are detected automatically and discounted routes
  are applied with no extra parameters or manual routing required. You can also configure
  fallback behavior per API key, choosing whether to continue at standard pricing or stop when a
  discounted route is temporarily unavailable. DeepChat users can register via this link.

🚀 Project Introduction

DeepChat is a powerful open-source, local-first AI agent desktop client that brings together models, tools, Skills, agent runtimes, Tape, and long-running sessions in one desktop app. Whether you're using cloud APIs like OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, or locally deployed Ollama models, DeepChat delivers a smooth user experience.

DeepChat's sessions and agent processes follow the Tape.systems philosophy: keep the process, so context, tool calls, requests, and results stay recoverable, traceable, and inspectable. It also provides strong MCP support, installable Skills, ACP agent integration, and remote control for Telegram, Feishu/Lark, QQBot, Discord, WeChat iLink, and other messaging workflows.
