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.
Affordable real-time search API that returns structured JSON plus page content in a single call.
Send a query and receive live web results as clean, structured JSON that is ready for parsing, ranking or feeding into a model.
Convert any URL into clean, readable markdown in the same API key, removing boilerplate so retrieved text is directly usable for RAG and summarization.
Requests are routed across multiple underlying search sources with health monitoring and automatic retries, so a single empty source does not break your pipeline.
Official libraries and snippets for Python, JavaScript, MCP and LangChain make it a few lines of code to add live search to an agent or app.
