Build with DeepSeek on Orbit
Orbit exposes DeepSeek models in its multi-model router for cost-efficient generation tasks. You get strong reasoning output at a fraction of flagship pricing, while Orbit's routing keeps quality and latency consistent.
DeepSeek AI Builder
DeepSeek models slot into Orbit's router where cost-efficiency matters, giving you frontier-adjacent capability without the premium price.
In plain English
DeepSeek offers frontier-adjacent performance at a fraction of the price. Orbit slots it into the router where cost-efficiency matters.
How it works in Orbit
DeepSeek offers strong reasoning at a fraction of the cost of frontier models. Orbit builds cost-efficient AI apps — code help, analysis, and chat — with DeepSeek as a provider option.
Reasoning without the price tag
DeepSeek's R-series models reason through problems at low cost. Orbit generates the chat and task UIs that take advantage of that economics.
- Reasoning-focused chat
- Low-cost throughput
- Task-based prompts
The budget-friendly default
For apps that call models thousands of times a day, model cost is a product decision. DeepSeek makes generous usage viable.
- Cost per token matters
- High-volume viable
- Economics by design
Provider flexibility
Orbit's model interface lets you start on DeepSeek and graduate to other providers as needs change, without rewriting the app.
- Swappable providers
- Same app, new model
- Compare in production

The challenge
Try it yourself
Run this one on a competitor first — then on Orbit. Same prompt, and keep score.
Build
Try this one elsewhere first.
Run the same generation on a premium model and on DeepSeek via Orbit's router. Compare the quality-per-dollar curve.
Research
Ask a research tool to go deep on one topic.
Then ask Orbit. Compare how many rounds it runs, how many sources it actually reads — we target 65+ — and whether every claim in the final report has a link attached. Bring a bigger coffee mug.
Chat
Ask a plain chatbot the same question.
One just talks. Orbit's agent actually searches the web, runs code, reads your files, and comes back with something done. Compare how many tabs you opened and how many are still open when you're finished.
Image & video
Generate the same image, then edit it.
Ask two tools for the same hero shot, then ask both to recolor it, fill in the background, and animate it. Compare who hands you a first draft and who keeps refining in the same conversation.
