# Retry (/examples/models/deepseek/retry)



<Warning>
  This example assumes an invalid model ID triggers the configured retries. Invalid-model responses commonly use terminal 400 or 404 statuses, which Agno does not retry. Do not run this source as a retry test.
</Warning>

```python title="retry.py"
"""Example demonstrating how to set up retries with DeepSeek."""

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.deepseek import DeepSeek

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create Agent

# We will use a deliberately wrong model ID, to trigger retries.
wrong_model_id = "deepseek-wrong-id"

agent = Agent(
    model=DeepSeek(
        id=wrong_model_id,
        retries=3,  # Number of times to retry the request.
        delay_between_retries=1,  # Delay between retries in seconds.
        exponential_backoff=True,  # If True, the delay between retries is doubled each time.

## Current Alternative [#current-alternative]

Configure `retries`, `delay_between_retries`, and `exponential_backoff` as shown in [Retry Model Requests](/models/overview#retry-model-requests). Test the retry path with a controlled transient 429, connection failure, or 5xx response.
