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.
Your AI coding mentor, right inside Slack
Taiga answers programming questions as you type them in Slack, with explanations, code snippets and practice problems instead of forcing you to hunt through search results.
It holds natural two-way conversations and adapts explanations to your level and preferences, more like chatting with a senior mentor than querying a docs site.
Paste in code or an error message and Taiga highlights problem areas, explains what went wrong, and suggests concrete improvements.
Invite Taiga into any channel or DM and share progress and insights with teammates, turning Slack into a shared learning space.
