AI-evaluated small-group discussions that replace discussion boards
Turn existing readings and materials into AI-evaluated group or solo discussion modules with your own prompts and learning objectives.
Students talk through a case or question in small groups while instructors receive ranked insights, transcripts and per-student metrics.
An oral assessment mode asks students to answer out loud, surfacing reasoning rather than recall and resisting easy AI shortcuts.
A ready-made library of cases, simulations and community-authored modules that instructors can mix, match and deploy quickly.
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.
