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.
Desktop and mobile AI copilot that feeds live answers during coding and system design interviews
The desktop app is designed to remain hidden from Zoom and browser-based screen recording, with moveable overlays and no visible taskbar presence.
Capture any window containing a coding problem and receive a complete solution with syntax highlighting, approach notes and complexity analysis.
Transcribes both your voice and the interviewer's audio so spoken system design and behavioral questions can be answered in the moment.
Pair the desktop app with a phone for remote screenshots, prompts and answers, or use the browser-based mobile mode with no installation.
