What is DeepSeek?
DeepSeek is an AI lab publishing open-weight large language models — including strong reasoning and coding models — available via API or downloadable to run on your own infrastructure. Open weights mean you can inspect, self-host and fine-tune the models rather than renting a black box.
Why DeepSeek matters for your business
Open-weight models changed the economics of AI. For high-volume, well-scoped tasks — classification, extraction, summarisation — they can cut inference costs dramatically versus frontier APIs, and self-hosting answers the data-residency question some industries can't avoid. The trade-offs are real, though, and knowing when open weights are enough is most of the decision.
How we help you with DeepSeek
Model evaluation
Head-to-head evals of DeepSeek against Claude, GPT and others on your actual tasks.
Self-hosted deployment
Open models running in your cloud or on-prem for data residency and control.
Cost-optimised routing
Architectures that send high-volume simple tasks to cheap models and hard ones to frontier models.
Fine-tuning & distillation
Specialised smaller models trained on your data for speed and cost at scale.
The price-performance, and the pressure it puts on everyone else. A serious open-weight lab keeps frontier pricing honest — which is good for every business that builds on AI, whichever model they end up choosing.
