Gotchas

Use provider model ID "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3", not the LLMReference slug "deepseek-v3".
DeepInfra uses "organization/model-name" format, e.g. "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct" or "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3". See the DeepInfra model catalog for exact IDs.
The examples expect DEEPINFRA_API_KEY; rename it only if your application config maps the new variable.
