Tick above each rail is this model, below it the other 69. Dashed rule is the field median, solid is its best. Better is left; the axis stops at the 90th percentile, so a few models sit past its right edge.

Two clocks, and why they disagree

Kyma measures this model twice. Both are real; they answer different questions.

Probe · every 6h · 30 days

0.52s to answer

One fixed prompt, on a schedule, to every model. Comparable, because the model is the only thing that changes.

Production prompts here are shorter than the probe's. Use the probe figure to choose between models, the traffic figure to budget for your own.

FAQ

Common questions about this model.

What is the context window of DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision?

DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision has a 1M-token context window — roughly 1542 pages of text in a single request.

How much does the DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision API cost?

$0.297 per 1M input tokens and $0.891 per 1M output tokens. No subscription; you pay only for what you use.

Does DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision support function calling?

Yes — DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision supports tool/function calling and structured outputs (JSON mode), so it works with agent frameworks out of the box.

Are the weights for DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision publicly available?

Yes. DeepSeek publishes DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision's weights as deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp, so you can download and run the model yourself (https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp, read 2026-09-03). Kyma serves it because it is convenient and has failover behind it, not because it is the only way to reach it.

Is DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision ever served below the precision its creator released it at?

Kyma cannot say. Answering it needs the precision DeepSeek released DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision in, and we could not source that from DeepSeek's own material — so there is nothing to compare a route against. We publish "not established" rather than reading a low format as a downgrade: on several models in this catalogue a low format is exactly how the creator ships it.

How do I use DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision?

Kyma is OpenAI-compatible: point your SDK's base URL at https://kymaapi.com/v1, use your Kyma API key, and set the model to deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp. Signing up is free and includes $0.50 of credit — no card required.
