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.

Build secure business apps, portals and internal tools with AI
Describe what you need in natural language - inside Softr, Claude or ChatGPT - and have the app, database or workflow generated, then refine it visually.
Connect Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, SQL databases and dozens more so every app reads from a single source of truth.
Build client, partner, vendor and employee portals where each audience sees only the pages, records and actions meant for them, previewable by role before publishing.
Automate manual steps like chasing documents, routing requests and updating clients, with agents that follow your rules and pause for approval.
