DeepSeek

Through an API, you can plug DeepSeek's language models into your own applications, which is the main way developers use the company's work.

DeepSeek is an AI company, founded in 2023, that builds general-purpose foundation models and sells access to them as an AI API.

It has released and open-sourced several large models with billions of parameters, including DeepSeek-LLM, DeepSeek-Coder and DeepSeek-MoE.

The lineup covers more than one job.

DeepSeek-Coder is the one to look at if you want an AI code generator for programming work, while DeepSeek-LLM is the general model behind chat, writing and translation tasks.

DeepSeek-MoE adds a mixture-of-experts design to the family.

Because the models are open source, you can study them or run them yourself instead of relying only on the hosted API.

The listing is better suited to developers and teams building their own products than to people who want a finished app with a fixed workflow.

DeepSeek gives you the models and the endpoint; the product around them is up to you.
