Where can I use DeepSeek from an alternative provider?

Question

Hi all,I'd like to use DeepSeek-R1, but the official provider at https://chat.deepseek.com are having issues to accept new accounts. Also, for my own reasons I'm interested in alternatives.Ideally, I'd like to self-host a chat-interface similar to the UI that both OpenAI and DeepSeek provide, but I'd expect a third-party solution to quite likely be more tailored to my needs. (I'm actually not very impressed with the official UI:s that I've seen.)I realize that this is probably a quite basic question to someone in the know, but I haven't found a good answer.Thank you
