Meet a talking virtual cat that greets you, chats and keeps you company
Hold a natural, spoken conversation with a virtual cat that responds in a soft feline voice instead of robotic text.
Your cat reacts when you arrive, greeting you with a meow, a purr or an excited burst of chatter rather than a silent dashboard.
The cat shares observations about its day and listens when you want to talk something through, giving the interaction a two-way feel.
The chat flow is deliberately simple — no prompt engineering, no settings maze — so casual daily use stays frictionless.
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.
