DeepSeek V4 Flash vs DeepSeek V4.1 Flash
什么时候选哪个
两者均支持 1,000,000 token 的上下文和 393,216 token 的最大输出,且均支持工具调用和推理,因此升级与否取决于输入类型和价格:deepseek-v4.1-flash 增加了图像输入,输入价格为 $0.3(约 2.2x),输出价格为 $1.2(约 4.4x),而仅支持文本的 deepseek-v4-flash 的输入和输出价格分别为 $0.138 和 $0.275,不过前者的缓存读取更便宜,为 $0.006,后者为 $0.0276。对于关注更低输入和输出费率以及可以选择关闭思考功能的大发送量文本对话和代码任务,请继续使用 deepseek-v4-flash;当需要发送图像时,请迁移到 deepseek-v4.1-flash。

同一条提示词,两个模型,经网关实测

When reasoning is enabled, the model generates additional "chain-of-thought" tokens internally before producing the final answer, effectively doubling the total token count per request. Since our billing is based on tokens processed, this directly doubled your usage. Additionally, reasoning often requires more expensive model tiers or higher compute resources, further amplifying the cost increase.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 通过 · 3 sentences
Enabling reasoning changed the unit economics: the model now spends extra billable tokens internally to “think” before producing the answer, and those reasoning tokens are charged like output tokens even though users never see them. That added token generation—plus longer contexts and occasional retries on harder prompts—roughly doubled our cost per request. We can control this by capping reasoning depth, routing only complex queries to reasoning models, and caching common prompts to bring the bill back down.

DeepSeek V4 Flash 通过 · 8/8 cases
The bug is that the function counts the number of consecutive equal **pairs** (i.e., `cur` increments for each `i` where `xs[i] == xs[i-1]`), but it should return the **length** of the longest run. For a run of length `L`, the number of pairs is `L-1`, so the result is always one less than the correct value. This causes the function to return 0 for a single‑element list (expected 1) and to undercount runs that end at the last index (e.g., `[1,1]` returns 1 instead of 2). Additionally, runs of length 1 that are not part of any pair (such as a single element at the end of a list) are never considered because `best` is only updated when a pair is found. […]

```python def longest_run(xs): if not xs: return 0 best = 1 cur = 1 for i in range(1, len(xs)): if xs[i] == xs[i - 1]: cur += 1 else: cur = 1 best = max(best, cur) return best ``` The bug is that `cur` is counting equal adjacent pairs, not elements in the current run: every time `xs[i] == xs[i - 1]`, the run length increases by one element, but the first element of the run was never counted, so all runs are undercounted by one. Also, `best` starts at `0`, so single-element inputs return `0` instead of `1`, and a one-element run ending at the last index is missed entirely.

We're thrilled to introduce Prompt Cache, a new feature for our API Gateway that stores prompt responses from any provider. When a user submits a prompt you've already processed, the system returns the cached result instantly—eliminating redundant API calls and reducing latency. This works across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more, with automatic cache invalidation based on your rules. What does this mean for your budget? Fewer API calls directly lower your monthly spend. Additionally, response times drop by up to 80% for cached prompts, improving user experience. Developers can configure cache duration per provider, set TTLs, and bypass cache when needed. The feature is available now in your gateway dashboard. Start saving time and money with Prompt Cache.

Today we're launching Cross-Provider Prompt Cache for our API gateway. It stores identical prompt requests and their responses across supported model providers, then serves cached results when a match is found. Teams can cut duplicate inference costs, reduce latency, and keep behavior consistent during provider failover. The cache works with configurable TTLs, per-route rules, and cache-key controls, so you decide what is reusable and what must stay fresh. Does your application send the same prompts to multiple providers? Now your gateway can answer many of those calls without another upstream request. Existing observability dashboards show hit rates, saved tokens, and estimated spend reduction. Enable it in the gateway console, set your policy, and start caching today.

DeepSeek V4 Flash 和 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 哪个更便宜?
按「输入 / 1M token」算,DeepSeek V4 Flash 更便宜($0.138 对 $0.3,相差 2.2×)。其他计费项的结论可能相反,完整价格见上方表格,实际成本取决于你的用量构成。
不用分别集成两次,就能对 DeepSeek V4 Flash 和 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 做 A/B 测试吗?
可以。两个模型走同一个 OpenAI 兼容端点,用同一个 API key,切换时只要改一行里的模型名,所以可以给两个模型各分一部分流量,直接对比账单。
DeepSeek V4 Flash 和 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 支持提示词缓存吗?
支持。两个模型的缓存读取价都低于各自的输入价,所以前缀能反复命中缓存的负载,实际成本会比按官网价估算的低。具体的缓存读取价见上方价格表。
