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.

A private macOS capture studio for screenshots, recordings, and web pages
Capture screenshots, screen recordings, and full webpages — viewport or entire page — across mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints.
Style and annotate stills and motion clips in the same editor with backgrounds, frames, shadows, arrows, text, and callouts.
Automatic zooms, 3D transforms, and effects turn plain recordings into guided walkthroughs.
On Apple Silicon Macs, AI names, tags, and summarizes captures locally so image content never leaves your device.
