Hey guys,
I'm running DeepSeek-V4-Flash as the model in Claude Code within VS Code. Overall, I'm really impressed. The token rates (costs) are hard to beat, and DeepSeek delivers excellent results.
Unfortunately, the model can't read images (e.g., pasted screenshots). Even when I have the images stored in a folder inside my project, DeepSeek is unable to access or interpret them.
Does anyone have an idea how this could be made to work?
It's quite cumbersome to manually describe every image or screenshot. With models like Claude Sonnet, this is much easier because they support image understanding directly.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or workarounds. Thanks!
