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.

Triggered by a PR merge or on a daily/weekly/monthly schedule, the agent reads code changes, tickets and feedback, drafts page updates and returns a summary and diff for approval before anything goes live.
Write in a Notion-style visual editor with slash commands and drag-and-drop blocks, or in Markdown/MDX with Git branches, pull requests, preview builds and two-way sync — same docs, same review flow.
Embed a cited, confidence-scored Ask AI assistant in your docs, and expose content to external AI tools via Reader and Authoring MCP servers plus llms.txt generation.
Import OpenAPI specs to auto-generate API documentation with a live try-it console so developers can call endpoints straight from the docs.
