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.

Agentic QA that tests every change like a real user and opens the fix PR
Pie maps your real user flows from a URL or build and finds elements by looking at the screen, so there are no selectors to maintain.
Each PR is read and exercised against the running app, so regressions are caught before they reach users.
Tests survive redesigns and deep links because they rely on how the interface looks and behaves, not on brittle CSS or accessibility paths.
When Pie confirms a bug, it drafts a fix PR with the root cause and the applied change, ready for review and merge.
