Does DeepSeek API pricing change by time of day?

Yes. DeepSeek bills a peak rate and an off-peak rate, and off-peak is half of peak. Peak hours are 01:00 to 04:00 and 06:00 to 10:00 UTC on weekdays; every other hour bills off-peak.

What happened to deepseek-v4-flash?

DeepSeek retired the deepseek-v4-flash model ID on 2026-09-10. Calls to it now route to V4.1 Flash and bill at the V4.1 Flash rates.

Is DeepSeek's API compatible with OpenAI and Anthropic clients?

Yes. DeepSeek offers OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible endpoints, so most existing client libraries work by changing the base URL and key.

How do I pay less for the DeepSeek API?

Run non-urgent jobs in off-peak hours, which bill at half the peak rate, and reuse prompt prefixes so input is billed at the much lower cache-hit rate.

我们的看法

评分 4/5我们的评分方式

DeepSeek is still one of the lowest-cost ways to run a capable model through an API, with both OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints. Pricing now depends on the time of day, so batch work you can schedule off-peak costs half as much.

选择这一档：deepseek-flash

The Flash model is the cheapest DeepSeek option and covers most workloads. Schedule batch jobs off-peak to halve the bill.

优点

Very low per-token prices compared with the frontier labs
Off-peak hours bill at half the peak rate
Cache hits cost a small fraction of fresh input
Drop-in compatible with OpenAI and Anthropic API clients

注意事项

Peak and off-peak billing makes cost forecasting harder
Model names and routing change quickly; check which model an ID now serves
Data-location requirements rule it out for some businesses

以下情况可跳过

Your data must stay with a provider in your own region
You need a chat subscription rather than an API
You cannot tolerate model IDs being retired and rerouted at short notice
