DeepSeek

DeepSeek is an AI company founded in 2023 that builds general-purpose foundation models and provides APIs for integrating them into products. The company has released and open-sourced multiple large-scale models with billions of parameters, including DeepSeek-LLM for broad language tasks, DeepSeek-Coder for programming assistance, and DeepSeek-MoE (Mixture of Experts) models designed to scale efficiently.

Developers can use DeepSeek through the DeepSeek Platform API. After creating an account and generating an API key, you can follow the official documentation to send requests to the models and embed capabilities like chat, content generation, reasoning, and coding features into your applications. DeepSeek also supports concepts like context caching to help reuse conversation or prompt context more efficiently in supported workflows.

DeepSeek maintains public resources and updates through its official channels, including its documentation, GitHub organization, and Twitter account. For support, users can contact DeepSeek via email at [email protected]. Pricing details and available models are described in the API documentation, which also explains common topics such as tokens, context caching, and billing-related questions.

Overall, DeepSeek positions itself as a foundation-model provider for teams that want to ship AI-powered experiences—ranging from developer tools to user-facing assistants—using hosted API access as well as open-source model options where applicable.
