Open-source distributed LLM inference orchestration for your own fleet
Routes each request to the node whose cache holds the longest matching prompt prefix, using longest-prefix overlap of BLAKE3 sequence digests to avoid repeated prefill work.
One OpenAI-compatible API in front of vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, Apple MLX and a TRT-LLM spawn driver, so you can mix engines inside a single cluster.
Runs prefill and decode on separate replica pools with KV handoff through NixlConnector, letting each phase use hardware suited to it.
Folds Redfish and NVML power readings into routing scores, applies soft per-node watt caps, and drains hot nodes automatically to cut energy per token.
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.

Provides stronger multi-modal reasoning and agentic tools, but lacks DeepSeek's ultra-low-cost API pricing.
#1
Offers an enormous context window and deep Google ecosystem integration, but feels less specialized for pure reasoning tasks.
#2Delivers superior long-form coding artifacts and nuanced writing, but lacks DeepSeek's specialized open-weight reasoning models.

Features real-time X social data integration, but is less cost-effective for dedicated developer coding workflows.
SpecialistReal-time AI answer engine and research workspace combining live web citations with frontier reasoning models.

Free / Open-sourceProvides comparable open-weight foundation models and multilingual performance, but requires self-hosting or third-party inference setup.

SpecialistThe AI coding agent for building ambitious software

SpecialistExcels at ultra-long document analysis and research, but lacks the same level of open-weight developer community support.
Free / Open-sourceEnables running open-source models locally on consumer hardware, but lacks DeepSeek's cloud-scale hosted reasoning power.
The AI developer cloud for GPU pods, serverless inference and clustering

Free / Open-sourceTogether AI is the AI Native Cloud — a full-stack platform for running, fine-tuning and training open-source models. It spans serverless inference APIs, dedicated endpoints, GPU clusters, post-training and storage, all backed by in-house systems research.
