Everybody else has had a go – now it’s Perplexity’s turn – Deep Seek Launched no access by China no censorship

We’re excited to announce that the new DeepSeek R1 model is now available across every Perplexity platform. You can experience the latest breakthrough in AI by turning on Pro Search with R1 on web, mobile, or MacOS. I highly recommend you try it out today — the experience is truly remarkable.

This model is hosted on servers based in the US and Europe, meaning that your data is not shared with the model provider or with China. Furthermore, we have eliminated all censorship on answers. You can ask it about any topic, even ones that are censored on the DeepSeek app, giving you unbiased and accurate answers.

In the past few years, there have been a handful of revolutionary moments in AI that have transformed the landscape. I wholeheartedly believe that this is yet another moment. We will continue to find ways to make this technology available to our users safely, so we can put knowledge at your fingertips and provide accurate, trusted, answers to every question.

Pro subscribers have access to 500 DeepSeek R1 Pro Searches per day. All other users have 5 free uses per day.

Enjoy,
