DeepSeek Platform

DeepSeek's API platform and playground for its models

About DeepSeek Platform

The DeepSeek Platform gives developers API access to DeepSeek's language models, including the V4 Flash and Pro lines with million-token context windows. The OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints support tool calls, JSON output, and thinking modes, billed per million tokens from a topped-up balance with peak and off-peak rates. Search and fetch APIs are billed per request. It suits developers who want low-cost, high-context model inference without managing their own infrastructure.
