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.

One API key and a drop-in OpenAI SDK replacement unlock 30+ open models across text, reasoning, coding, vision, embeddings, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, image and video.
Run agents connected to company context and tools with scoped memory, tool permissions, human approvals and an auditable decision trail.
Reserve NVIDIA, AMD or Tenstorrent capacity for VMs, fine-tuning and production inference when shared serverless endpoints are not enough.
AI Factory supports VPC, on-premises and air-gapped installs, with zero data retention, an EU option, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR alignment.
Provides stronger multi-modal reasoning and agentic tools, but lacks DeepSeek's ultra-low-cost API pricing.
