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.
Open-source workspace to build, deploy and govern AI agents
Create agents by describing them in Chat, arranging blocks on a visual canvas, or writing code and CLI commands, and deploy the result without rebuilding it.
Sync and auto-update documents from Notion, Google Drive, Confluence, Slack, GitHub and SharePoint so agents ground answers in current company knowledge.
Agents read and write structured data in Sim Tables and keep files and artifacts organized in one shared store across runs.
Trace every agent run block by block with success rate, latency, execution cost and failure details for debugging and reporting.
Provides stronger multi-modal reasoning and agentic tools, but lacks DeepSeek's ultra-low-cost API pricing.
