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.

Assessment infrastructure for exams that must stand up to scrutiny
Generate new questions with AI controls, import existing question banks, or upload documents and convert them into assessments that are centrally managed and version-controlled.
Run tests online, offline or hybrid, including a portable edge device for low-connectivity locations, while keeping identity verification and tamper-proof activity logs in place.
Identity verification, environment checks, full-screen lock, device blocking, behaviour and focus tracking, session recording and automatic flagging, with live, asynchronous or on-site supervision.
Auto-grade multiple-choice, essays, short answers, code challenges, tablet handwriting and scanned paper scripts, with plagiarism checks, audit trails and reporting on every adjustment.
