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.

Assemble an agent's persona, instructions and constraints through a guided interface, then refine behaviour iteratively without touching infrastructure.
Ground answers in uploaded documents or connect plugins so the agent can retrieve live data and trigger actions beyond plain conversation.
Chain multiple steps, conditional branches and tool calls into a repeatable flow for tasks that need more than a single model turn.
Publish finished agents to a public storefront where users can discover them, and reuse community plugins instead of building integrations from scratch.
