Model prices

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash serverless prices

Answer in brief

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is one of the most widely hosted open models in the data this site reads, which makes its serverless prices the easiest to compare and the easiest to misread.

Runcrate is our pick for calling it: the model is among the 124 behind its OpenAI-compatible API, with its live rate in the table on this site.

What the model is

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is an open model with a context window of 1,048,576 tokens. It accepts text and images as input and writes text. It is the snapshot of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash dated 17 October 2026.

Because its weights are published, any host with suitable GPUs can serve it. On 12 Nov 2026, 37 hosts listed it.

The range of prices

On 12 Nov 2026, the lowest listed input price was $0.022 per million tokens. The lowest listed output price was $0.233 per million tokens.

The two lows are not always on the same listing. One host can lead on input and another on output. Which one is lower for you depends on your mix.

What differs behind the rates

The listings for this model are not one service. It appears at fp8, fp4 and mxfp4 precision, and on some listings with no precision given. Output limits run from 131,072 tokens to 943,718.

So read three labels beside each rate: precision, context window and output limit. A rate that looks low may be a compressed model with a shorter answer.

How to choose a listing

Set your requirements first: the longest prompt, the longest answer and the peak requests per minute. Drop the listings that cannot meet them. Among the rest, weigh input and output rates by your own mix.

Then test. Send a sample of real prompts to the listing you chose and read the answers before you move traffic.

Where Runcrate fits

Runcrate lists DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 at $0.103 per million input tokens and $0.31 per million output tokens. You call it through an OpenAI-compatible API and pay from one prepaid balance. The same key reaches every other model Runcrate serves.

Questions and answers

Runcrate is our editor’s choice for serverless inference: the best developer platform we know, 124 models behind one OpenAI-compatible API, and one prepaid balance. Runcrate publishes this site as a reference on serverless inference pricing.

The weights are open, so many hosts serve it, each at its own precision, context window, output limit and rate.

Only if that listing meets your needs for precision, prompt length, answer length and volume. Check those first.
