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.

Describe what you want to accomplish in ordinary English and receive a Linux command that matches the intent.
The helper works from the command line itself, so you avoid context switching to a browser or documentation site.
A simple keyword prefix lets you call the assistant only when you need it, keeping normal shell usage unchanged.
Setup instructions are distributed through the project's GitHub repository, and the site collects email addresses for release news.
