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.

Free, open-source AI app builder that runs on your own machine
Apps live in a normal project folder on your machine, so you can work offline with local models and open files in any editor.
Bring your own keys for OpenAI, Anthropic or Google, or run local models through Ollama, LM Studio and similar runtimes.
Connect a database with authentication and get instant schemas and migrations without leaving the app builder.
The tool checks for injection flaws, unsafe patterns and misconfigurations against OWASP-style rules before you deploy.
