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.

Bare-metal access to NVIDIA GB300, B300, GB200, B200, H200, H100, RTX PRO 6000, and L40S GPUs connected over InfiniBand for training and inference at scale.
A managed inference service for running popular open and frontier models through an API, so applications can add LLM capabilities without owning GPUs.
Built-in Kubernetes, Soperator for Slurm jobs, PostgreSQL, and MLflow give teams a ready-made environment for orchestration, tracking, and experiments.
Choose on-demand, preemptible, or live market-driven spot capacity, or commit to reserved clusters for discounts on long-running workloads.
