Build AI workflows visually, run them serverless on Cloudflare
Design automation pipelines on a drag-and-drop React Flow canvas instead of writing glue code, with live preview and versioning built in.
Run workflows on Cloudflare Workers and Workflows with durable execution, auto-retry and scale-to-zero behaviour, so long-running jobs survive restarts.
Store workflow state and execution history in Cloudflare D1 SQL, R2 object storage, KV and the Workers Analytics Engine for persistent, queryable runs.
Start workflows from HTTP webhooks, Cloudflare Queues, cron schedules, email or a manual trigger to cover event-driven, queued and time-based automation.
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.
