Model Details
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash
$0.056 inDeepSeek V4.1 Flash is a sparse mixture-of-experts model from DeepSeek, and the first built on the company's Causal Encoder-Decoder (CED) architecture.
DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423
$0.091 inDeepSeek V4 Flash is an efficiency-optimized Mixture-of-Experts model from DeepSeek with 284B total parameters and 13B activated parameters, supporting a 1M-token context window.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017
$0.150 inDeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is the October 17, 2026 snapshot of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, served by DeepSeek under the `deepseek-flash` API model name.
DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp
$0.216 inDeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp is an experimental vision-enabled version of DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 from DeepSeek, adding image understanding while matching the base model on text capabilities including agents.
DeepSeek V3.1
$0.250 inDeepSeek-V3.1 is a large hybrid reasoning model (671B parameters, 37B active) that supports both thinking and non-thinking modes via prompt templates.
DeepSeek V3
$0.257 inDeepSeek V3 is the general-purpose DeepSeek model — surprisingly strong on coding and math at a fraction of GPT-4o's price. Open-weight, with growing third-party host support.
DeepSeek V3.2 Exp
$0.270 inDeepSeek-V3.2-Exp is an experimental large language model released by DeepSeek as an intermediate step between V3.1 and future architectures.
DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus
$0.270 inDeepSeek-V3.1 Terminus is an update to DeepSeek V3.1 that maintains the model's original capabilities while addressing issues reported by users, including language consistency and agent capabilities, further optimizing the model's.
DeepSeek V3.2
$0.280 inDeepSeek-V3.2 is a large language model designed to harmonize high computational efficiency with strong reasoning and agentic tool-use performance.
DeepSeek V3 0324
$0.290 inDeepSeek V3 0324 is an updated drop-in replacement for DeepSeek V3 — same pricing, noticeably improved coding and instruction-following. The recommended V3 variant for new projects.
DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731
$0.440 inDeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 is a sparse mixture-of-experts model from DeepSeek, with 13B active parameters out of 284B total.
R1 0528
$0.500 inMay 28th update to the original DeepSeek R1 Performance on par with OpenAI o1, but open-sourced and with fully open reasoning tokens.
DeepSeek R1
$0.550 inDeepSeek R1 is the open-weight reasoning model that disrupted the reasoning-model market by matching o1-class performance at a tiny fraction of the cost. Chain-of-thought is exposed by default.
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813
$0.660 inDeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 is a large-scale mixture-of-experts model from DeepSeek. This is the GA release of DeepSeek V4 Pro.
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0423
$0.955 inDeepSeek V4 Pro is a large-scale Mixture-of-Experts model from DeepSeek with 1.6T total parameters and 49B activated parameters, supporting a 1M-token context window.
