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.
Automatic documentation for code, on every save
Autopilot documents entire codebases every time you hit save, so documentation keeps pace with your code.
Pass in code and receive an explanation in plain English, customizable to your needs through a public API.
Enrich generated explanations with Stack Overflow suggestions and documentation from across the web so you do not have to search manually.
Integrations for editors and wherever code can be found, including the VSC extension.
