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.

Run, fine-tune, and deploy machine learning models with one line of code
Run image, video, audio, speech, and language models through a uniform API surface, with official models for FLUX, Nano Banana, Seedream, Grok Imagine, MiniMax, Wan, Seedance, and more.
Set up a model in minutes and make an API call in Python, Node, or plain HTTP after authenticating with an API token.
Package your own model with Cog, an open-source tool for packaging machine learning models, and deploy it on dedicated hardware that scales up and down with demand.
Fine-tune models on your own data, including fast-booting fine-tunes that are billed only while actively processing requests rather than for idle time.
