DeepSeek

Chinese frontier AI at remarkably low cost

DeepSeek is a Chinese AI lab that stunned the industry with DeepSeek-R1, a reasoning model that matches OpenAI's o1 while being trained at a fraction of the cost. Their mixture-of-experts DeepSeek V3 architecture and open-weight releases make them a disruptive force. DeepSeek models are available via OpenRouter at significantly lower prices than comparable Western models.
