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.
Learn Linux, DevOps, and cybersecurity by doing — inside real online labs.
Choose a structured path — Linux, DevOps, cybersecurity, Python, Docker, Kubernetes and more — and progress lab by lab from fundamentals to advanced topics.
Practice inside real online terminals, pre-configured environments, and cloud virtual machines rather than reading passive tutorials.
An AI chatbot powered by ChatGPT that answers technical questions, explains concepts, and helps debug your code while you learn.
Apply each skill by building real projects, from containerized apps to automation scripts, that reinforce what you have learned.
