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.

Model with primitives, booleans and sculpting, and use 3D generation to create objects from prompts.
Apply layered materials, lights and post-processing effects to give scenes a polished, production-ready look.
Build interactivity using states, keyframes, events and physics so scenes respond to scroll, hover and other triggers.
Connect AI coding agents to read, write and frame the live scene, then refine the same file by hand with your team.
