Japan's AI art community for posting, generating and discovering AI images
Upload and browse AI illustrations, photos and manga across illustration, photo and manga sections.
Every post can carry its prompt text, and visitors can search prompts by tag or by which model produced the image.
Generate images in the browser with Stable Diffusion, SDXL, NovelAI, niji-journey, FLUX and other supported models.
Fresh models are periodically opened through the UL generation feature for a limited period.
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.
