Overview
DeepSeek's open reasoning model, the successor to R1, with long chain-of-thought and strong math, coding and planning. Competitive with the best hosted reasoners at a fraction of the cost, though reasoning tokens add to output spend. A favorite for hard problems where you still care about price.
