# Vercel AI Gateway: Deepseek insufficient balance

I can not use models (e.g. Deepseek v3.1 thinking) from provider: deepseek (Deepseek itself).
I am always getting: An error occurred while processing the request: 402 Insufficient Balance.

Note: I do have credits and other providers models work. Deepseek is the only provider for thinking mode of v3.1.
