Open-source unified multimodal model for understanding, generation and editing
A single model accepts mixed image and text inputs and produces mixed image and text outputs for reasoning, conversation and generation.
Pre-training on interleaved video clips lets BAGEL preserve identities and fine detail while performing edits that go beyond basic manipulation.
BAGEL transforms images between styles and worlds using minimal alignment data, and composes new scenes across turns.
By learning from real-world video, the model can navigate varied environments including painted and sci-fi worlds.
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.
