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.

Describe your app in plain English and Softgen asks clarifying questions, drafts a development plan, and generates the full codebase.
Managed Supabase for database and user authentication, plus Stripe payments, are wired in with no code required.
Every project lives in a real GitHub repository you own, so you can branch, merge, and open it in Cursor or VS Code.
Choose from a large set of AI models, including leading Claude, GPT, and Gemini releases, rather than being locked to one.
