The fast, private desktop chatbot for every major LLM
Works with GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Llama and other providers in a single desktop client, so you are not locked into one ecosystem.
Chat history, attachments and settings all stay on your hard drive and never leave your device, apart from the requests sent to your model provider.
Chat with PDFs, images, audio and text files, and render HTML, React components, charts and documents as live artifacts.
Connect Notion, Google Sheets, browsers and other tools through MCP so the AI can actually take actions rather than only answer questions.
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.
