Description
DeepSeek releases open-weight LLMs (DeepSeek-V3, R1) that match closed-model quality on reasoning, math, and code while costing 10–30× less per token. The DeepSeek chat web app is free; the API undercuts every Western competitor. Models are released under permissive licences, sparking the late-2025 wave of low-cost AI infrastructure.
