[DeepSeek Visual Model Officially Launches API: Same Pricing as V4 Flash] Beating AI Newsflash: DeepSeek has officially launched the new visual model `deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp`. The official API documentation lists it alongside V4 Flash and V4 Pro, allowing developers to directly input images via the DeepSeek API. The model supports a 1 million token context, with a maximum output of 384,000 tokens. It also supports JSON Output, Tool Calls, Responses API, and Anthropic API. Pricing is aligned with V4 Flash. For every million tokens input, the peak rate is ¥3, and the off-peak rate is ¥1.5 when the cache is not hit; cache hits cost only ¥0.1 and ¥0.05, respectively. For every million tokens output, the peak rate is ¥9, and the off-peak rate is ¥4.5. Compared to V4 Pro, the same-tier pricing is only one-third. Images are not charged separately per piece. DeepSeek converts image dimensions into tokens and calculates costs together with text tokens. Peak hours are 9:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00 Beijing time, with prices halved during other hours.
