Digitally clone yourself and let AI work while you focus elsewhere
Create one or more digital versions of yourself that are authorised to act on the internet under your supervision, so work continues when you step away.
Route clones into shared digital spaces covering social platforms, developer tooling and financial software, and let them operate inside both Aphid and third-party apps.
Verify the human behind each clone, register an Aphid ID, and decide explicitly what content and data are ingested into your digital self.
Opt into the gig-style tasks and shifts you want, with earnings and rewards processed once a task, shift or project is completed successfully.
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.
