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.

AI-native offensive security: continuous red teaming, white-box pentests, and PR review
Hacktron Red continuously attacks your entire organization the way a real adversary would, then shows you the breach path and helps close it.
Hacktron Whitebox reads your source code, proves each finding in a sandbox or against your deployed app, and produces an audit-ready report for SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
Every pull request is checked with your whole codebase as context, so issues are caught before they merge into main.
Only findings that can be shown to be exploitable are reported, verified rather than predicted.
