How to Use New DeepSeek for Free (No API Key Needed)

DeepSeek is making waves in the AI world with its powerful and affordable models.

The latest release, DeepSeek-R1-0528, launched on May 28, 2025, offers advanced reasoning capabilities that rival top AI models like OpenAI’s o4 mini and o3. What’s even better? You can access this cutting-edge technology for free using the aiToggler app. Here’s how:

1. Visit the aiToggler website: Go to https://app.aitoggler.com/.

2. Sign up for a free account: Registering is quick and easy. Plus, aiToggler will automatically generate an API key for you.

3. Select the DeepSeek model: In the aiToggler interface, navigate to the “Newest” tab in the AI model selector. This tab sorts models by release date, so you’ll find the latest DeepSeek at the top.

4. Choose the free version: Look for the DeepSeek model labeled as free and select it.

5. Start chatting: With everything set up, you can now interact with DeepSeek-R1-0528 directly through aiToggler.

While you are not required to use the paid version, you might want to choose that one to have fewer rate limits (otherwise we would go bankrupt hosting Deepseek to you all for free).

Why use Deepseek at all?

DeepSeek-R1-0528 stands out for its efficiency and performance.

Despite being developed at a fraction of the cost of other AI models—approximately $5.58 million compared to the hundreds of millions spent by competitors—DeepSeek doesn’t compromise on quality. It excels in tasks like coding assistance, logical reasoning, and problem-solving.

When compared to other AI models, DeepSeek offers a compelling combination of high performance and low cost.

Its open-source nature also means greater transparency and accessibility for users and developers alike.

By using aiToggler to access DeepSeek-R1-0528, you’re tapping into one of the most advanced AI models available today—all without spending a dime or needing a separate API key.
