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.

Legal research and citation linking, built into your browser
The extension scans the page you are reading and turns case names, citations and statutory references into clickable links that open the matching document on vLex.com, so you can verify authority without leaving your tab.
Vincent AI reads the context of the content in front of you and recommends relevant vLex cases, statutes and commentary, letting you explore the surrounding legal landscape in one click.
Search results are augmented with related vLex documents, so case law, legislation and secondary sources appear beside ordinary web results instead of being buried several pages deep.
Beyond the extension, Vincent AI accepts natural-language legal questions and returns structured answers with linked citations, and can generate multi-jurisdiction surveys for comparative work.
