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.

Turn typed text into realistic handwritten pages on the paper you choose
96 built-in handwriting styles, with font size, line spacing, word spacing and margin controls to match the look you need.
Headings, lists, tables and mathematical notation render correctly in the same pen, alongside A4, US Letter, ruled and 5 mm grid papers.
Create a flat page ready to print, or place your handwriting in a notebook-style scene so it looks photographed rather than generated.
PDF, DOCX, PPTX and supported images up to 50 MB import on Starter and above, reflowed into the editor across up to the first 100 source pages.
