DeepSeek chat model for instruction following, coding, and analysis
DeepSeek V3 0324 is offered by 3 providers on this page. Its reference price is $0.399 per 1M input tokens and $1.57 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is Kilo Gateway at $0.29 / $1.14 per 1M, about 1.4× below the reference price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
The context window is 128,000 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 128,000 to 163,840, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports tool use and structured output. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2024-07-31.
