DeepSeek · screen 2About DeepSeek
DeepSeek is an AI chatbot and family of open-weight large language models from the Chinese lab DeepSeek. The free chat app offers a DeepThink reasoning mode, web search and file upload, while developers call the same models through an OpenAI-compatible API. It is used by researchers, developers and cost-sensitive teams that want strong reasoning at low prices or the option to self-host. DeepSeek publishes weights under permissive licenses and prices API tokens far below most labs.
