“(research-lab homepage — paper links and model announcements without developer-facing product framing)”
The page reads like a research group's publication list, not a developer platform. A developer evaluating inference APIs cannot find pricing, latency, rate limits, or integration guides without significant digging. The page serves researchers but loses builders.
“Split the message: "Build with DeepSeek: frontier-quality reasoning at a fraction of the cost. API, open weights, or self-hosted — pick your path." Then link to the developer platform, not the paper.”
Research credibility attracts attention, but developer-facing clarity converts attention into API signups. The page needs both, in that order.
