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-driven privacy and security apps for phones, desktops and servers
Anti Spy is presented as the first anti-spyware app with dual AV-TEST and DEKRA certification, with a stated 99.87% detection rate, plus dark web checks and camera/recording access monitoring.
Antivirus AI combines a signature engine with on-device machine learning so new and unknown threats are caught in real time without sending your data to the cloud.
iShredder overwrites data using 23 algorithms based on standards from NIST SP 800-88 to DoD 5220.22-M ECE and issues a verifiable erasure report.
Camera Guard and Micro Guard monitor and block camera and microphone access, while Firewall AI governs which apps can reach the network.
Provides stronger multi-modal reasoning and agentic tools, but lacks DeepSeek's ultra-low-cost API pricing.
