Binary Puts DeepSeek V4 Into Terminal

DeepSeek TUI turns your terminal into a powerful coding agent with DeepSeek V4, real-time thinking display, and full file/Git/shell control.

Over the past two days, I came across a standout project on GitHub—DeepSeek TUI. Just two days after going open-source, it has already garnered 3.5K stars.

It brings DeepSeek’s latest V4 model directly into the terminal, turning it into a full-fledged coding agent.

While there are more and more AI coding assistants these days, most of them are accessed via web interfaces or IDE plugins. This project takes the opposite approach, rooting itself entirely in the terminal and delivering a native, immersive experience for developers.

More importantly, it’s not just a chat tool—it’s a true “hands-on” agent.

You can directly instruct it to read and write project files, execute shell commands, search the web, manage Git, and even watch the model’s thinking process unfold in real time.

This combination of powerful AI capabilities with the developer’s most familiar terminal environment is genuinely compelling.
