Availability: Retired 2026-09-10, after 20 days as a Preview SKU. DeepSeek's rate card footnote (1) names it directly: "The legacy names deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp are still accepted, but the corresponding models have been retired, their requests are served by the DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash model and billed at the Flash price." The same-day change log repeats it. The slug still resolves and still bills, but a call routed today costs the V4.1 Flash rate ($0.30 input / $0.006 cached input / $1.20 output per 1M at peak, half that off-peak), not the $0.44/$0.014/$1.32 archived here. Successor: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (deepseek-v4-1-flash), which carries native visual understanding as a first-class feature rather than an experimental variant.

How this price is scoped: ARCHIVED first-party rate — what this model last cost, not what a call costs today. DeepSeek billed it at TWO rates depending on the hour, on the same schedule and at the same numbers as deepseek-v4-flash. The tracked figure is the PEAK rate: $0.44 input / $0.014 cached input / $1.32 output per 1M tokens. Off-peak was exactly half: $0.22 / $0.007 / $0.66. Peak hours are 01:00-04:00 and 06:00-10:00 UTC, Monday through Friday; every other hour is off-peak. Image input billed at the same per-token rates once the image was tokenized; DeepSeek's rate card printed no separate per-image charge. On 2026-09-10 DeepSeek retired the model; the name now routes to DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and bills at that model's price.

Overview

Retired by DeepSeek on 2026-09-10, twenty days after it shipped, when V4.1 Flash absorbed its vision support. The deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp model name is still accepted, but requests to it are served by DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and billed at the V4.1 Flash price, so any figure attributed to this SKU is what it last cost, not what you pay today. Last listed at $0.44/$1.32 per 1M tokens at peak.
