DeepSeek provides a model family spanning general-purpose (V3, V4), reasoning-optimized (R1), code-specialized (Coder V2), vision-language (VL), and mathematics-focused (Math) variants. Users select the appropriate model variant via web interface, mobile app, or API based on task requirements, with each variant optimized for distinct capability profiles. The architecture supports routing requests to task-specific model weights rather than using a single generalist model.
Unique: Offers explicitly separated model variants (R1 for reasoning, Coder V2 for code, VL for vision, Math for mathematics) rather than attempting single-model versatility, allowing task-specific optimization without fine-tuning. V4 preview adds explicit Agent capabilities, suggesting architectural support for agentic workflows.
vs alternatives: More granular model specialization than GPT-4 (which uses single model) or Claude (which uses single model family), enabling users to select optimal inference cost/performance tradeoff per domain rather than paying for generalist capability overhead.
DeepSeek provides a web-accessible chat interface at deepseek.com enabling real-time conversational interaction with selected model variants. The interface maintains conversation history and context across multiple turns, allowing users to build multi-turn dialogues without manual context management. Session state is persisted server-side, enabling users to resume conversations across browser sessions.

API supports standard request/response patterns for text generation, code completion, and vision tasks, with pricing tracked per API call.
Unique: Unknown — API documentation not provided. Likely uses standard LLM API patterns (similar to OpenAI/Anthropic) but specific implementation details (streaming, function calling, vision format support) are undocumented.
vs alternatives: Unknown — cannot assess API design, latency, or feature completeness vs OpenAI API, Anthropic API, or other LLM providers without endpoint documentation.
DeepSeek R1 variant is specifically optimized for reasoning tasks, generating explicit reasoning traces or chain-of-thought outputs before final answers. The model architecture likely includes training objectives that encourage step-by-step problem decomposition and intermediate reasoning visibility. R1 is positioned as achieving 'world-class reasoning performance' (推理性能), suggesting architectural differences from general-purpose variants in how reasoning is represented and generated.
Unique: Dedicated R1 model variant with explicit reasoning optimization, rather than attempting reasoning as secondary capability in general-purpose model. Suggests training-time architectural choices (possibly reinforcement learning on reasoning tasks) rather than prompt-based reasoning extraction.
vs alternatives: Specialized reasoning model (R1) vs general-purpose models attempting reasoning via prompting (GPT-4, Claude); likely better reasoning quality but higher latency/cost tradeoff than general-purpose alternatives.
DeepSeek Coder V2 variant is specialized for code generation, completion, and analysis tasks. The model is trained on code-heavy datasets and optimized for multiple programming languages, enabling context-aware code completion, function generation, and code review. Coder V2 likely uses code-specific tokenization and training objectives (e.g., next-token prediction on code, code-to-documentation generation) distinct from general-purpose models.
Unique: Dedicated Coder V2 variant with code-specific training and optimization, rather than using general-purpose model for code tasks. Suggests code-specific tokenization, training data curation, and possibly code-specific architectural components (e.g., syntax-aware attention).
vs alternatives: Specialized code model (Coder V2) vs general-purpose models (GPT-4, Claude) for code tasks; likely better code quality and language coverage but narrower applicability than general-purpose alternatives.
