KVM NVMe VPS hosting with global regions, instant deploy
Each server runs as a fully isolated KVM virtual machine with dedicated resources and NVMe SSDs for low-latency disk I/O.
Deploy in US-West or Hong Kong, with Tokyo, Singapore, Frankfurt and London regions listed as under construction.
New servers come online in about one to five minutes through automated deployment and instant activation.
Browser console access, one-click OS reinstall across many Linux distributions, rescue mode, snapshots and live usage graphs.
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.
