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.

Turn PDFs, Office files and images into clean Markdown for AI workflows
Handles PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLS/XLSX, HTML, CSV/TSV, JSON, XML, TXT, EPUB, IPYNB, pasted tables, public URLs and PNG/JPG/WebP images in one workflow.
Supported files convert in the browser for on-device privacy, while richer or server-only formats use the self-hosted MarkItDown service. The path is labelled before you run a file.
Start with free Local OCR in the browser, then escalate to High-Accuracy AI OCR for scanned PDFs, dense tables, totals and formulas that ordinary OCR mangles.
Headings, tables, lists, links, inline formatting and code blocks survive conversion where the source exposes them, so output drops into RAG indexes and knowledge bases with minimal cleanup.
