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.

Real-time voice AI APIs with 50 ms to first audio
Text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and live speech-to-speech translation reach roughly 50 ms to first audio, tuned for conversational agents rather than batch processing.
Clone a voice from a short sample for everyday use, move up to pro cloning for production quality, or generate a brand-new voice from a text description.
WebSocket streaming, Python and Rust SDKs, custom vocabulary, semantic VAD, and code-switching support make integration straightforward for agent builders.
Phonon is Gradium's openly available TTS model that runs on-device for offline or privacy-sensitive deployments.
