🚀Function Overview

A public-beta DeepSeek API model for cost-sensitive coding agents, long-context text workflows, structured output, function calling, and Responses-compatible clients such as Codex.

Key Features

Stable request model ID deepseek-v4-flash with backend version DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
1M token context length and 384K maximum output
Native stateless Responses API support with function tools and server-side web search
Official Codex integration path for CLI, desktop, and VS Code clients
Thinking enabled by default with low, high, and max effort behavior
OpenAI Chat Completions and Anthropic-compatible API access
Regular pricing of $0.0028 cache-hit input, $0.14 cache-miss input, and $0.28 output per 1M tokens
Account concurrency limit of 2,500 requests

Use Cases

•Cost-sensitive coding-agent sessions through the DeepSeek API
•Codex workflows using a Responses-compatible custom provider
•Long-context text analysis with tool calls or server-side web search
•Structured JSON or JSON Schema output generation
•Controlled comparison with the current DeepSeek V4 Pro preview endpoint

⚙️Input Parameters

input

string | array

Text or Responses API input items. Supported item types include messages, reasoning, function calls, function outputs, and web-search calls; image and file inputs are not supported.

instructions

string

Optional system-level instruction inserted at the beginning of the Responses API context.

reasoning

object

Optional thinking configuration. DeepSeek maps effort values to non-thinking, low, high, or max behavior.

tools

array

Optional function definitions and the supported server-side web-search tool for Responses API workflows.

text.format

object

Optional text, JSON object, or JSON Schema output configuration.

💡Usage Examples

Example 1

Input Parameters

{
  "model": "deepseek-v4-flash",
  "input": "Review this change plan and return the three highest-risk assumptions.",
  "reasoning": {
    "effort": "high"
  },
  "max_output_tokens": 1200
}

Output Results

A DeepSeek Responses API object. The endpoint is stateless, so resend the required conversation history on later turns and verify the current schema before production use.
