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.

Build commands, tools, keyboard shortcuts, overlays, sub-agents or permission gates as TypeScript extensions, or install them as packages from npm and git.
AGENTS.md instructions, per-project SYSTEM.md, on-demand skills, prompt templates and customizable compaction keep the context window under your control.
Connect 15+ providers from Anthropic and OpenAI to Bedrock, Groq, OpenRouter and local Ollama, then switch models mid-session.
Interactive TUI, print/JSON for scripting, an RPC protocol for non-Node hosts, and an SDK for embedding the agent.
Provides stronger multi-modal reasoning and agentic tools, but lacks DeepSeek's ultra-low-cost API pricing.
