Structured Outputs with DeepSeek

[spiovesan]

I followed this post to see how structured outputs work.
Then I tried to use the DeepSeek model

Kernel kernel = Kernel.CreateBuilder()
  .AddOpenAIChatCompletion(
  "deepseek-chat",    // or "deepseek-reasoner"
   new Uri("https://api.deepseek.com"),
   DEEPSEEK_API_KEY)
   .Build();

But I get this error:

Service request failed.
Status: 422 (Unprocessable Entity)

I noticed that OllamaPromptExecutionSettings also does not support ResponseFormat, even if Ollama supports models as Llama 3.2 does.
Do structured outputs work only with OpenAI with SK?

Hi @spiovesan, Semantic Kernel Structured Outputs support currently only exists for some OpenAI/Azure OpenAI models.
