Methodology

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash

Shows PEAK uncached rates. Peak hours: Monday–Friday 01–04 and 06–10 UTC. Off-peak costs half. The 1M/384K figures preserve published notation; reasoning tokens consume the output budget. The old deepseek-v4-flash alias remains accepted but serves DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017; use deepseek-flash in integrations.
