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.

The AI memory layer that remembers your work for you
Research, chats, emails, notes and meetings are captured chronologically so you can search, filter and revisit any moment.
Scope prompts by time, source, topic or person to recover decisions and find exactly the context you need.
Generate standup updates, morning briefs, meeting prep and day recaps instantly from real context instead of reconstructing them by hand.
Carry your full history into Claude, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity and any MCP-ready assistant from a single plan.
