Deepseek R1 in Agents

[monkeydust]

Curious if anyone has tried this and has good guides/tutorials and feedback as to how performant this model is for Agentic workflows?

I tried today, and it works for me using in AssistantAgent. But I can not use it in MagenticOneGroupChat object because it is not support structure output(JSON).

from autogen_ext.models.azure import AzureAIChatCompletionClient
deepseek_r1_client = AzureAIChatCompletionClient(
    model ="DeepSeek-R1",
    endpoint="https://Target-URI-in-azure-ai-fountry",
    credential = AzureKeyCredential("Key-in-azure-ai-fountry"),
    model_info={
        "json_output": False,
        "function_calling": False,
        "vision": False,
        "family": "unknown",
    },
)
planner_agent = AssistantAgent(
        "planner_agent",
        model_client=deepseek_r1_client,
        description="A helpful assistant that can plan trips.",
        system_message="You are a helpful assistant that can suggest a travel plan for a user based on their request.",
        memory=[user_memory],
    )
