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.
Recharge ChatGPT Plus and Pro with WeChat Pay or Alipay, no overseas card needed
Pay in yuan through the wallets you already use, with no overseas credit card, PayPal account, or foreign exchange handling required.
You submit a session token from your own ChatGPT account so the service can verify and activate the plan without ever seeing your password.
Plus and Pro activations are typically completed within a few minutes, with order status tracking and a full refund if the recharge fails.
Choose Plus, Pro 100, Pro 200, or Pro 500 depending on usage, or top up a Claude subscription from the same account area.
