Knowledge layer that gives your AI the context it lacks
Save highlights and insights from webpages, PDFs, videos, social posts, newsletters, Kindle, and email using a browser extension or mobile capture.
Let AI suggest structure, group related insights, and use knowledge triggers and chat to keep your base tidy and searchable.
Feed your stored knowledge to any frontier model or custom agent via an AI Canvas and native MCP, so your context travels with you.
Build a common context space that both people and AI agents draw on for research, feedback, and collaboration.
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.
