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.
Your AI coding agent in VS Code and the cloud
Installs free from the Marketplace and builds the codebase index on your own machine, so proprietary source code does not have to be uploaded to a vendor service.
Exploration subagents fan out in parallel to map repositories, walk call hierarchies, and resolve imports, returning concise summaries before the main agent edits anything.
Connect a GitHub repo and a routing, coding, and git agent collaborate in isolated Linux sandboxes to implement, test, and ship a verified pull request.
Every tool call can require approval, and workspace state is snapshotted at each message so you can diff or instantly revert any agent edit.
