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.

Capture experiments in a structured electronic lab notebook with audit-trail support, so records satisfy regulatory documentation expectations rather than living in scattered files.
The platform applies AI to experimental design and outcome prediction, reducing trial-and-error cycles and cutting down duplicated experiments across a lab.
Track reagents and manage MSDS documentation in the same system as the experiment records that consume them.
Retrieval-augmented search runs against the organisation's own papers, reports and prior experiments, so answers are grounded in internal knowledge rather than the open web.
