DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 API
deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731 pins DeepSeek V4 Flash to its 0731 snapshot: $0.45 per million input tokens and $1.33 per million output tokens. The rolling deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash id on the same gateway is listed at $0.14 / $0.28 — the snapshot costs roughly 3x on input. Pay the pin premium only if you need reproducible behavior across a fixed model version; otherwise call the live id. No context window is published for either id.

FAQ
DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 API questions
What model id do I send for the 0731 snapshot?
Send deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731 to https://api.nextmodel.app/v1 with your OpenAI SDK. If that id is missing from /v1/models, the page is stale.
Why is this more expensive than deepseek-v4-flash?
The pinned 0731 snapshot is listed at $0.45 / $1.33 per 1M tokens while the rolling deepseek-v4-flash id is $0.14 / $0.28. You pay a premium for version pinning, not for extra capability the catalog can verify.
Is a context window published?
No. The catalog snapshot publishes no context window for this id.
