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.

The best frontend for AI.
Plug in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other LLM APIs and switch between them in a single interface, comparing responses side by side.
Bring your own keys and pay only for actual usage — Typing Mind is sold as a license rather than a recurring subscription.
Chat history and settings are stored locally in your browser, with no data collection or use for model training by the app.
Build custom AI agents, chain prompts, add training files, connect live APIs and extend functionality through a plugin library.
