I achieve this by utilizing v1 instead of v3, and it’s crucial to enable the useLegacyCompletionsEndpoint option. i m not sure temperature work or not.

{
      "title": "deepseek-r1",
      "model": "ep-20250214031836-p2wfd",
      "contextLength": 128000,
      "apiKey": "",
      "apiBase": "https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/v1/",
      "provider": "openai",
      "options.temperature": 0.6,
      "useLegacyCompletionsEndpoint": false
    },
    {
      "title": "deepseek-v3",
      "model": "ep-20250214020016-7c8z9",
      "contextLength": 128000,
      "apiKey": "",
      "apiBase": "https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/v1/",
      "provider": "openai",
      "options.temperature": 0.6,
      "useLegacyCompletionsEndpoint": false
    }

hope it helps for you.
