One API key, hundreds of AI models behind a single endpoint
Create a single API key and call hundreds of text, image and video models without managing separate accounts at each provider.
Requests follow the common formats, so existing SDKs and CLI tools (including Claude Code and Codex CLI) work after changing only the base URL.
A pricing view lists popular models sorted by input cost and links straight to a filtered price page, making cost comparison straightforward.
Multiple nodes schedule requests dynamically to reduce wait time, with redundant links and failover to limit the impact of any single outage.
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.
