How DeepSeek AI Uses 90% Fewer Tokens to Match Billion-Dollar Models

DeepSeek AI was highlighted as a unified visual reasoning system that points directly to objects in images.

It uses far fewer visual tokens—around 90% less than conventional models—while staying competitive on object ID and maze-style spatial tasks.

The approach could make computer vision cheaper, faster, and more interpretable without giving up much accuracy.

It still has weaknesses on high-resolution inputs and unfamiliar cases.
