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.
Fraud and abuse detection that recognizes visitors, bots and risky accounts under any masking
Recognizes returning visitors across cleared cookies, incognito sessions and changed IP addresses, and links multiple accounts that trace back to the same person or device.
Flags multi-accounting, account sharing, account takeover and impossible travel out of the box, with a confidence value per event and no fraud model training required.
Names the risk signals behind each result: VPN, proxy, Tor, private relay, datacenter, anti-detect browser, incognito mode, JavaScript disabled, OS and timezone mismatch, browser automation and AI bots.
Scores every visit 0–100 and classifies it as trusted, suspicious or dangerous, then aggregates a single traffic-quality score with breakdowns by channel, referrer and UTM campaign.
Provides stronger multi-modal reasoning and agentic tools, but lacks DeepSeek's ultra-low-cost API pricing.
