Project Information
Tags
AI Models Mentioned
Summary
A developer has created a proxy solution that enables the Cursor IDE to utilize the newly released DeepSeek-R1-Distill-LLaMA-70B model through OpenRouter. The integration aims to leverage this model's superior coding capabilities compared to DeepSeek V3, as demonstrated by benchmark results.
Best Practices
Use OpenRouter for Model Access
Leverage OpenRouter as an intermediary service to access the DeepSeek model
Proxy Implementation for IDE Integration
Implement a proxy layer to bridge incompatible services
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Direct Model Integration Without Proxy
Avoid attempting to integrate the model directly with Cursor without a proxy layer
