How much do DeepSeek R1 cost per month?

For an example workload of 20 million input tokens and 5 million output tokens per month: DeepSeek R1: $27. These are token-only estimates using the displayed rates, without caching discounts, additional tool charges or taxes. Actual bills depend on usage and endpoint pricing.

Which has a larger context window: DeepSeek R1?

DeepSeek R1: 64K tokens of context; maximum output 16K tokens. Context capacity and maximum output are separate limits. A larger context window allows more material in a request but does not guarantee more accurate answers.

Which is better for coding: DeepSeek R1?

DeepSeek R1: Artificial Analysis SciCode not listed. Compare coding results within the same evaluation, then test representative tasks from your own codebase. A missing score is not a zero, and a single benchmark does not establish the best model for every programming task.

How do Arena Elo, DesignArena, Intelligence Index and MMLU-Pro differ?

These evaluations measure different tasks and use different scales. Arena Elo and DesignArena ratings must remain separate, as must Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and MMLU-Pro. Compare models within the same evaluation rather than combining scores. Missing results are marked Not listed, not treated as measured zeroes.

Which responds faster: DeepSeek R1?

DeepSeek R1: Artificial Analysis output speed not listed; time to first token not listed. Output speed measures generation throughput, while time to first token measures the initial wait. Real-world latency also depends on the API provider, request size and load; missing measurements cannot establish a speed winner.

Do DeepSeek R1 support images, audio or video?

DeepSeek R1: listed input formats: text; output formats: text. Input and output support are different capabilities: accepting an image does not mean a model generates images. Confirm formats and file limits for the endpoint you plan to use.

Do DeepSeek R1 support tool calling and structured outputs?

DeepSeek R1: listed features: Function calling, JSON mode, Reasoning, Deterministic seed. Only recorded capabilities are shown; an unlisted feature is not proof that it is unsupported. Availability can vary by API provider, so confirm tool calling and JSON schema support for your chosen endpoint.

Can prompt caching reduce the cost of DeepSeek R1?

DeepSeek R1: cached input price not listed. Caching may reduce charges for eligible repeated input when supported by the endpoint. A listed cached rate does not guarantee every request qualifies; cache duration, minimum token counts and any write charges depend on the provider.

Are DeepSeek R1 available through an API?

DeepSeek R1: catalog status active; API identifier deepseek-r1; listed API hosts Novita. Catalog status is not a live availability check. Before integrating, verify the provider's documentation, endpoint access, rate limits, regional availability and data-handling terms.

Comparison FAQ

DeepSeek R1: $0.70 input and $2.50 output per million tokens. The cheaper choice depends on your input-to-output ratio; a model can have a lower input rate but a higher output rate.
