Why Runcrate

Built for production. One key, one balance.

  • Mixture of experts

    DeepSeek V3.2 uses a Mixture-of-Experts architecture that activates only the parameters needed for each token, delivering frontier-quality output at lower compute cost.

  • Extended reasoning

    DeepSeek R1 generates detailed chain-of-thought traces before answering, excelling at math olympiad problems, code debugging, and multi-step logic.

  • 128K context window

    Feed entire codebases, research papers, or lengthy documents into a single prompt without truncation.

  • Drop-in replacement

    Uses the standard OpenAI chat completions format. Swap the base URL and model name, keep everything else.
