DeepSeek

What it does

Operation

POST /v1/chat/completions — inference, medium latency
OpenAI-compatible chat completions. Supports deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-pro. Additional OpenAI parameters (temperature, max_tokens, top_p, frequency_penalty, presence_penalty, stop, etc.) are forwarded. The quoted price follows the model requested and the prompt size, and is higher inside DeepSeek's peak windows (01:00-04:00 and 06:00-10:00 UTC, Monday-Friday).

What a call costs

Measured from the service's own 402 response on 2026-10-30T23:28:43Z — unpaid, first round only, nothing signed or settled. The exact amount is what a fixed call costs and is the price this page publishes; the quoted amount is always returned in the handshake, so a client never has to compute it.

deepseek-v4-flash — metered ceiling, bound to the request shape it was measured with.

deepseek-v4-pro — metered ceiling, bound to the request shape it was measured with.

A ceiling is only meaningful next to the max_tokens it was measured with. On Base, a metered call with max_tokens: 1000 tops out at deepseek-v4-flash $0.00955 / deepseek-v4-pro $0.02595; the same request with no max_tokens authorises the model's whole output allowance and is the right-hand column — a worst case, never a price. Ethereum is two orders dearer because that figure carries the chain's own settle cost, not the model's. Avalanche offers no metered accept, so a call there is always the exact price.

These are exactly the seven chains the handshake answered for deepseek; nothing above is a fallback or an estimate.

Start here

Two rounds, no account: send the request, read the 402, sign the amount it quotes, send it again. The first call is free to discover — a client learns the exact price before it pays anything.
