# DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731

DeepSeek · released 2026-07-31

 $0.105 per million tokens, balanced Balanced Summarise Chat Code gen Agentic

## Nothing is both better and cheaper.

Under a balanced workload, no other model in the catalogue scores higher *and* costs less. This model is on the value frontier.

## Our take

 editorial — not a measurement

Absurdly cheap for what it is: $0.44/$1.32 at peak, $0.22/$0.66 off-peak, with a 1.31M context window and 384k max output. The output ceiling is worth noting — 384k is triple what most frontier models allow, which makes it viable for bulk generation tasks that other models simply cannot complete in one pass. Same time-of-day billing and same aggressive cache discount as V4 Pro. If your workload is text-only and tolerant of a non-frontier model, this is close to the price floor for a capable long-context model.

### Strengths

 - $0.22/$0.66 off-peak — near the price floor for this capability
- 1.31M context and 384k max output
- Cache hits at $0.007 off-peak
- Open weights on Hugging Face

### Weaknesses

 - Time-of-day pricing complicates budgeting
- Text-only
- Not frontier capability
- Licence unverified

### Reach for it when

 - Very large single-pass generation
- Off-peak bulk processing
- Cost-floor long-context work

### Avoid it if

 - You need multimodal input
- You need frontier reasoning

### Every price dimension

| Input | $0.080 /M |
| --- | --- |
| Output | $0.180 /M |
| Cached input | $0.016 /M |

### Independent scores

| Intelligence | 51.8 |
| --- | --- |
| Coding | 69.1 |
| Agentic | 48.4 |

Sources are listed separately rather than averaged. Across the 62 models both have scored they correlate at r = 0.806 — close agreement overall, but four models rank very differently between them, and a blended score would hide exactly those.
