DeepSeek V4.1 Flash token prices
Answer in brief
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is among the most widely hosted open models, so its token price is a range and not a figure.
Runcrate is our pick for it: it serves the model behind one OpenAI-compatible API with 125 models, with its live price in the table here.
What the model is
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is an open-weight model that takes text and images as input, with a context window of about a million tokens in its maker’s listing. Dated versions of it are listed separately, so match the full name when you compare.
What a token costs today
On 12 Nov 2026, 28 hosts listed DeepSeek V4.1 Flash here. The lowest listed input price was $0.022 per million tokens. The lowest listed output price was $0.336 per million tokens.
Runcrate serves DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at $0.147 per million input tokens and $0.44 per million output tokens.
Why the range is wide
Hosts state several different precisions for this model. They also set very different limits on output: some cap a single answer at a small fraction of what others allow. Each of those choices changes what it costs a host to serve a token.
So the lowest row is not always the same product as the row above it. Read precision and output limit beside the price.
Cached input
The hosts listed for this model state a cached input price. If your requests share a long opening, compare hosts on that figure too. For an agent that resends a long prompt on every step, it can outweigh the normal input price.
How to work out your cost
Count a day of your input and output tokens on this model. Multiply each, in millions, by one host’s two prices and add them. Repeat for the hosts whose limits and precision you accept.
Then test your own prompts on the two lowest-priced. A lower price is a saving only if the answers hold up.
