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.

Free Chrome extension that turns recitation recordings into AI notes
Play a Columbia recitation recording and the extension drafts AI notes from the spoken content, so you do not have to transcribe it yourself.
Notes are tied to timestamps in the recording, making it easy to jump back to the exact moment a point was made.
Notes condense a full session into the key points, so reviewing before an exam takes minutes rather than hours.
Installs as a lightweight Chrome extension that the developer states does not collect or sell user data.
