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.

An AI answer agent that turns your docs into instant Slack answers
Deploys into the channels where your team already works and answers internal questions in seconds, with typical response times of a few seconds.
Connects Google Drive, Confluence, Notion, Salesforce, Slack and 10+ other platforms so responses come from your curated documentation rather than open web results.
Knowledge owners can set tone of voice, add answering instructions, rate accuracy reserved answers, and save new answers so the agent improves continuously.
Tracks resolution rate, automation rate and time saved per agent and per team, giving leaders the numbers needed for stakeholder reporting.
