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.
Open-source security for AI apps and MCP traffic
Silently scans and protects all MCP tool calls flowing between your AI apps and their servers, without slowing your apps down.
Combines advanced LLM analysis with deterministic signatures to catch prompt injection, tool poisoning, credential theft, and command injection.
Bring your own LLM provider and API keys, and choose which signatures are used during scanning.
Free to download under the AGPL-3.0 license and now part of Docker Inc., with the source available on GitHub.
