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.

AI-powered visual discovery of scientific knowledge
Every search produces an interactive concept map in which related research outputs are grouped into labeled, clickable clusters instead of a single flat list.
Searches more than 400 million records in over 400 languages pulled from more than 11,000 sources through the BASE aggregator.
Beyond journal articles, results span datasets, software, images, and other research objects, giving a broader picture of a topic.
Maps are generated from metadata rather than synthesized text, so what you see corresponds to real indexed records.
