DeepSeek
The open-weight family everyone else gets benchmarked against.
DeepSeek publishes the weights for nearly everything it ships, which is why its models became the price anchor for the whole market — a Flash model here costs a fraction of a frontier model and gets close on reasoning and code. The V4 line is a sparse mixture-of-experts design with a million-token context. This row is the model family; DeepSeek's own free chat app has its own entry in Chats.
