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.

Agent gateway that routes, compresses and observes your LLM token spend
Assign token budgets per developer, squad or org, and let Edgee reroute requests to open-weight models mid-task when budgets fill or providers fail.
Trims tool-result payloads at the gateway and shortens output verbosity so coding tasks bill fewer tokens for the same result.
Attribute cost and usage by developer, repository, PR and model so engineering leaders can see where spend comes from.
A transparent gateway for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode and your own apps, installed via CLI in about five minutes.
