One endpoint, every frontier model
Point your application at one base URL and one key. Text, reasoning and multimodal models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Zhipu AI and ByteDance sit behind the same interface.
Changing provider means editing the model string in your request, not rebuilding the integration, which keeps multi-model experimentation cheap.
Requests travel over official provider channels rather than gray-market relays or resold quotas, which matters for compliance and stability.
Latency-aware routing sends each call to the fastest healthy upstream and streams responses straight back to the client.
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.
