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.
A free, local Markdown editor with AI, runnable code, MCP, and git
Type @ to choose which of your notes the AI reads and / to pick a prompt; the answer lands inline in the note you are writing, with no chat window or copy-paste.
Write a JavaScript block, press play, and query a database, call an API, or parse a file — the chart or table renders inline and the saved note becomes a reusable tool.
Connect real tools through MCP servers such as GitHub, Postgres, Slack, and Linear, so AI blocks can query, search, and create on your behalf using the same config format as Claude Desktop.
Your vault is plain, git-compatible files. Pull, commit, and push from the sidebar, while note passwords stay encrypted in a sidecar file so secrets never reach a commit.
