Discover what DeepSeek is, its family of open-source AI models, and how it offers powerful AI at a lower cost than many competitors.
DeepSeek is a Chinese AI company offering powerful, low-cost, open-source AI models that challenge industry leaders like OpenAI. Its R1 model has outpaced ChatGPT in app downloads, and the DeepSeek website recorded 267.90 million page visits in a single month.
DeepSeek is an AI platform that supports information discovery and analysis through machine learning, natural language processing, and data mining. It helps users explore large datasets, uncover patterns, and extract insights with speed and accuracy. It is designed for academic research, business intelligence, and personal exploration.
DeepSeek has developed several AI models, each built for a specific purpose:
DeepSeek-R1 is built to analyze and reason, performing well in problem-solving tasks comparable to OpenAI’s models. A variant, DeepSeek-R1-Zero, was trained to reason independently without human guidance and can check its own answers and improve over time.
DeepSeekMoE uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture to specialize on specific tasks and improve efficiency. This approach has produced successive versions, including DeepSeek-V2, V2.5, and V3.
DeepSeek LLM writes text, summarizes information, and answers questions. It comes in different sizes, including DeepSeek LLM 7B and 67B, trained on over 2 trillion words of English and Chinese text.
DeepSeek-Coder helps programmers write and fix code in over 80 programming languages. The latest version, DeepSeek-Coder-V2, has 236 billion parameters and was trained on 6 trillion words of code and math-related data.
DeepSeek-VL models process visual and text information together. The first version was trained on a dataset of 900 billion words and images. The latest version, DeepSeek-VL2, improves accuracy and efficiency and comes in Tiny, Small, and Standard sizes with 1 billion to 4.5 billion parameters.
DeepSeek-Math is a specialized model for complex math problems. It builds on DeepSeek-Coder’s knowledge and was trained on 120 billion math-related words and symbols, making it suited for calculations, equations, and logical reasoning.
DeepSeek-Prover is designed to solve and prove complex mathematical theorems. It works with Lean 4, a software tool for verifying mathematical proofs.
