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.

Enter a brief idea and Variant produces a continuous stream of distinct design options, so exploration does not stall waiting for the next prompt.
Options are laid out for fast visual scanning, so you review directions by scrolling instead of describing changes in text.
Covering both web and app concepts, Variant helps you explore layout, interface and visual-styling directions for early product ideas.
Because direction changes happen visually, it is easy to bring several options into a stakeholder or client conversation and pick a path.
