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.

Voice-native conversational AI agents for customer and employee touchpoints
A voice-native platform for building and orchestrating AI agents, with agent and model selection, rule-based actions, and human-assisted resolution.
Agents are designed to keep listening and understanding through interruptions, background noise, and the unpredictable flow of real conversations.
Layered guardrails at instruction, task, function, and channel level, a proprietary PII-detection LLM, tenant isolation, encryption, and full audit logging.
Deploy agents to digital channels and physical locations — phones, drive-thrus, in-car systems, kiosks, and employee tools — from a single system.

Provides stronger multi-modal reasoning and agentic tools, but lacks DeepSeek's ultra-low-cost API pricing.
