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.

Ask for a walkthrough directly inside Slack, ChatGPT, or Claude, or from any MCP assistant, then change any step by asking.
Start from screenshots, an existing screen recording, or a Loom link — the Agent writes the steps and callouts.
Publish the same workflow as an interactive walkthrough, a step-by-step guide, or a video with voiceover.
Rewrite steps, adjust callouts, remove noise, and generate multi-language voiceover in 34 languages and 100+ voices.
