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.
Open data infrastructure where people own and authorize the data behind AI
People collect data from services they already use through open-source connectors, and that data stays on their own device or encrypted storage they control.
A locally running access engine encrypts data and releases it only against a valid on-chain permission, with every read written to a reviewable access log.
Install @opendatalabs/vana-sdk to request user-approved data, read it from a Personal Server, and settle protocol fees from an app escrow balance.
Groups pool data for privacy-preserving compute jobs, so contributions can be used by AI without exposing raw records.
Provides stronger multi-modal reasoning and agentic tools, but lacks DeepSeek's ultra-low-cost API pricing.
