DeepSeek V4.1 Flash model for reasoning and agentic coding
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is offered by 99 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 92 of them. No official API price is listed for it; the prices below come from third-party channels. The lowest paid channel is engy at $0.03 / $0.12 per 1M. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it. Prices vary about 34× across the providers that host it. It also has 4 free ($0) channels and 3 covered by a paid subscription; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
Artificial Analysis rates it 39.5 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $0.052 per 1M, that is roughly 752 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 181 tokens per second, with 0.94s to the first token. Running one task of the Artificial Analysis suite costs about $0.4802, which reflects how many tokens its reasoning consumes rather than the unit price alone.
The context window is 262,144 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 200,000 to 5,000,000, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text, Image, and PDF. 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 2025-05.
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.
Interleaved thinking (reasoning between tool calls) is declared by 34 of 99 providers.
2 / 99 providers expose no reasoning control (reasoning_options: []).

The same benchmark scores very differently across harness / dataset, so the qualifying conditions must be shown together.
