IT Home reported on October 30 that many developers today found a set of application entry points and interface logic related to a “Cyber” model in the front-end code of DeepSeek’s official website.
According to the code that has surfaced, the application page route points to /usage/ model-application and has a feature gate switch; accounts without permission are redirected back to the usage page when they try to access it. The code also contains interfaces related to Cyber Key creation and quota management, as well as separate application templates for enterprise and individual users.
Two model identifiers appear in the code: cyber-personal-v3 and cyber-enterprise-v4. The former is intended for individual cybersecurity professionals, who must provide identity card information and complete facial verification to apply; the latter is intended for enterprises, which must submit a business license and a letter of authorization in addition to real-name verification documents.
According to the application instructions that have surfaced, both channels share these eligibility requirements: the account must have completed real-name verification and be in good standing, be registered in mainland China and linked to a mainland Chinese mobile number, and have no violations on record in the past 90 days. The process involves filling out an application form and submitting it for review, then creating a Cyber Key after approval.
IT Home notes that this entry point has not appeared in DeepSeek’s public menu and is in a limited rollout. Most people can find only references to it in the code and cannot see the front-end entry point.
Some users report that only accounts included in the limited rollout can see the relevant section on the usage page. Those with permission who enter it will see a “DeepSeek Flash Cyber Dedicated Cybersecurity API” section, but the rollout remains quite limited.
This suggests that DeepSeek may be separating dedicated cybersecurity capabilities from its general-purpose models and managing access through separate model identifiers and a Key system.
As of now, DeepSeek has made no official announcement about the Cyber model. All the information above comes from reverse examination of the official website’s JavaScript code and scattered reports from users included in the limited rollout.
It remains uncertain whether DeepSeek will formally bring this model to market, which types of users it will be available to, and what its pricing and usage rules will be.
