DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus example: a multi-step problem with reasoning

The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.

        "A shop has 3 warehouses. A ships 120 orders a day, B ships 85 and C ships 40. "
        "If C closes and its load is split between A and B in proportion to their capacity, how many does each ship a day? "
        "Work through it step by step and give just the two numbers at the end."

What is DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus good for?

DeepSeek publishes this model; we expose it under the id "deepseek/deepseek-v3.1-terminus". Its context window is 163,840 tokens, roughly 123k English words in one request. A single response can run to 147,456 tokens. On price it sits in the "cheap" band — cheaper than 249 and dearer than 141 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

What you get on top of text in, text out: it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.

Input runs at 93,479 toman per 1M tokens and output at 346,219 — output costs 3.7× input, so trimming the answer saves more than trimming the prompt. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.

The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is Qwen3 Coder 480B A35B, and DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus costs about the same, and its context window is smaller. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.

To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 175 thousand-word requests on DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus, and every 1,000 toman is about 1,748 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 439,699 toman in total. Filling this model's 163,840-token window costs 15,316 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. Both land at nearly the same price on a thousand-word request (572 and 540 toman). On parameters the other takes logit_bias, logprobs, min_p, presence_penalty.

DeepSeek has 18 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 at 123 toman per thousand words and the dearest DeepSeek Pro Latest at 3,642. Among the less common parameters it accepts top_k — all through the standard request body. It does not support seed, which most models here do, so test before switching if your code relies on them. By context size the nearest option from another provider is Llama Guard 4 12B at 163,840 tokens.

Where it makes sense: high-volume work such as classification, tagging and bulk summarising, logic puzzles and code review, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema.
