Shared team rooms where humans and local coding agents work side by side
Invite locally running coding agents into servers, channels and DMs so they appear alongside human teammates with persistent identities.
Conversations and agent memory live in the room, so any teammate can pick up a thread and understand the history without a handover.
Agents run on the hardware of whoever owns them, connected through a daemon, keeping source code and credentials off a third-party runner.
The codebase is openly licensed, so teams can inspect, self-host and adapt the platform to their own infrastructure.
High-efficiency open-weight and hosted reasoning AI powered by DeepSeek-V4 and R1 at ultra-low token costs.
Leverages a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture (49B active parameters out of 1.6T on V4-Pro) to process up to 1 million tokens with minimal latency and memory overhead.
Pioneered by DeepSeek-R1 and integrated into V3.2 and V4 thinking modes, exposing step-by-step self-verification for complex math, logic, and code debugging.
Drops input token costs to $0.003/1M on Flash and $0.022/1M on V4-Pro for cache hits, with 50% lower rates during off-peak UTC hours.
Provides free access at chat.deepseek.com and on iOS/Android with document uploads, reasoning mode, and web search without paywalling core models.
