DeepSeek visual model officially launched API: the price is exactly the same as V4 Flash

In comparison, DeepSeek officially launched a new visual model, deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp. The official API documentation has juxtaposed it with V4 Flash and V4 Pro, and developers can directly import images through the DeepSeek API. The model supports 1 million token contexts, a maximum output of 384,000 tokens, and also supports JSON Output, Tool Calls, Responses API, and Anthropic API.

The price is directly aligned with the V4 Flash. The peak period for each million token input is 3 yuan and the idle period is 1.5 yuan; the cache hit is only 0.1 yuan and 0.05 yuan, respectively. Each million tokens are worth 9 yuan during peak output periods and 4.5 yuan during idle periods. Compared to the V4 Pro, the price of the same class is only one-third.

There is no separate charge per image. DeepSeek will convert the image into a token based on the image size, and then bill it together with the text token. Peak periods are 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00 Beijing time; prices are halved the rest of the day.
