One API key, 165+ image, video, audio and LLM models at up to 95% below official pricing
A single API key and base URL reach image, video, LLM and speech models from many vendors, so switching model families is a one-string change rather than a new integration.
Existing SDK code, agent frameworks and IDE assistants work by pointing base_url at the platform; chat completions and messages endpoints mirror the official shapes.
Credits are consumed only for requests that return a result. There is no monthly fee, no expiring minimum and no charge for failed generations.
Popular models run behind more than one upstream channel, and requests are retried on a backup route when the primary errors, rate-limits or times out.
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.
Provides stronger multi-modal reasoning and agentic tools, but lacks DeepSeek's ultra-low-cost API pricing.
