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.

Managed cloud agents for coding, review and background work
Define the trigger, prompt, environment, permissions and compute shape in a config file that lives alongside your code and is reviewed like any other change.
Ellipsis provisions and tears down virtual machines for each session, so agent work never depends on a developer's laptop being open or on hand-rolled runners.
Choose Claude Code or Codex, or mix them, by editing a single configuration block rather than rewriting your automation.
Credentials are minted per session and limited to the repositories you allowed, and source code is deleted together with the sandbox.
