Open DeepSeek MoE chat model for coding, math, and general reasoning
DeepSeek-V3 is offered by 15 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 12 of them. Its reference price is $1.25 per 1M tokens. The lowest paid channel is SiliconFlow at $0.25 / $1.00 per 1M, about 5.0× below the reference price. It also has 1 free ($0) channel; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
Artificial Analysis rates it 8.5 on the Intelligence Index, with 23 for coding and 0.8 for agentic tasks. Against its lowest blended price of $0.438 per 1M, that is roughly 19 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Running one task of the Artificial Analysis suite costs about $0.0198, which reflects how many tokens its reasoning consumes rather than the unit price alone.
The context window is 131,072 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 64,000 to 164,000, 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. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2024-07.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

Sorted by blended price (input×0.75 + output×0.25) asc. The official channel always shows regardless of rank. Whether a gateway's low price is actually usable can't be verified.
1 more channels offer $0 (iFlow); free tiers usually have rate limits and no SLA, excluded from ranking.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
