DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (batch) example: reading an image into JSON

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

What is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (batch) good for?

DeepSeek publishes this model; we expose it under the id "deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash:batch". Its context window is 1,048,576 tokens, roughly 786k English words in one request. A single response can run to 131,072 tokens. On price it sits in the "very cheap" band — cheaper than 328 and dearer than 70 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

What you get on top of text in, text out: it reads images directly, which makes it a real option for invoices, forms and screenshots; 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 38,777 toman per 1M tokens and output at 116,330 — output costs 3× input, so trimming the answer saves more than trimming the prompt. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 1,163 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. 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 Gemma 3 27B, and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (batch) costs about the same, and its context window is larger. 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 495 thousand-word requests on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (batch), and every 1,000 toman is about 4,950 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 155,106 toman in total. Filling this model's 1,048,576-token window costs 40,660 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

This id gets confused with "deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash", because the underlying model is the same. The difference is the suffix: "batch" against the standard variant. On a thousand-word request this variant works out about 17% cheaper (202 against 245 toman). Maximum answer length differs as well: 131,072 against 943,718 tokens. On parameters the other takes logprobs, parallel_tool_calls, top_a, top_logprobs.

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 logit_bias, min_p, presence_penalty, reasoning_effort, repetition_penalty, top_k — all through the standard request body. By context size the nearest option from another provider is Ember-1 at 1,048,576 tokens.

Where it makes sense: high-volume work such as classification, tagging and bulk summarising, logic puzzles and code review, pulling text and fields out of images, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
