Archal — Stateful simulated environments
Spin up environments for GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Linear, Supabase, Datadog, HubSpot, Jira and more that persist mutations during a run and reset to a declared baseline on demand.
Call environments through familiar REST paths and payloads or through MCP tools, so existing agent code and tool definitions work with minimal changes.
A single API key creates and manages every sandbox and environment, with shared gateway routing while each environment keeps its own endpoint and readiness state.
Combine every environment a workflow needs into one sandbox, giving each its own readiness state and endpoint so end-to-end agent flows can be tested together.
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.
