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.
AI pre-submission reviewer and writing coauthor for researchers
Upload a draft as PDF or Word and get a full reviewer-style report covering argument, methodology, evidence, structure and clarity, with findings graded by severity.
Relevant articles are matched from an index of 200M+ peer-reviewed papers, and the platform explicitly avoids fabricating citations that do not exist.
Get a ranked shortlist of venues matched to your manuscript, with fit, impact factor and selectivity detail to help you choose where to submit.
Agents search sources, read your PDFs and edit your document, with automatic version history, live co-author collaboration and LaTeX-to-PDF compilation.
