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.
Chat and roleplay with community-created AI characters across SFW and NSFW modes.
Browse a community library organized by tags, tropes, and categories so you can find romance, fantasy, anime, or scenario-driven characters in a few clicks.
Write a name, backstory, personality, and opening scene for an original character, then publish it with a creator profile so other users can chat with it too.
Choose SFW for general roleplay or switch to the NSFW character section for mature, filter-free scenarios, with age gating on adult content.
Characters remember the scenario and your conversation, so long-running stories keep their context instead of resetting every message.
