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.
Studio-quality podcast and video recording, editing, and publishing in your browser
Every participant records locally on their own device, capturing up to 4K video and 48kHz uncompressed audio in separate tracks that stay sharp regardless of connection quality.
Edit video by editing the transcript — search, cut, copy, and paste words and the footage updates. AI then removes filler words and silences or fixes eye contact in one click.
Turn a finished session into promotional assets: short clips optimized for each platform, thumbnails, headlines, show notes, transcripts, and translations or dubs in over 30 languages.
Broadcast in full HD 1080p to unlimited destinations simultaneously, or host webinars with registration, branded emails, Q&A, live call-ins, polls, and HubSpot lead capture.
