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.
Run LLaMA, Alpaca and GPT4All chats locally on your Mac
Model inference happens on your Mac, so prompts and responses never leave your machine and no account or API key is needed.
Chat with LLaMA, Alpaca, GPT4All and other LLaMA-family models, including community fine-tunes such as Vicuna.
Import raw published PyTorch checkpoints directly, or bring your own pre-converted .ggml files, without hand-running conversion scripts.
Powered by the llama.cpp and llama.swift libraries, so the app tracks proven community tooling instead of a proprietary runtime.
