deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash

DeepSeek V4 Flash is an efficiency-optimized Mixture-of-Experts model from DeepSeek with 284B total parameters and 13B activated parameters, supporting a 1M-token context window. It is designed for fast inference and...

Billing follows the provider's own reported cost rather than the catalogue price — cached input is cheaper, and reasoning tokens bill as output. Your usage page is the record of what you actually paid.

Call it

Every model goes through the same endpoint — just use this page's ID as model.

curl https://macdecloud.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dcld-sk-..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

Streaming

Add "stream": true for token-by-token output over standard SSE.

curl -N https://macdecloud.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dcld-sk-..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash","stream":true,"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hi"}]}'

Reasoning tokens are billed

This is a reasoning model: it produces a thinking pass before answering, and those tokens are billed as output — often far more of them than the answer itself. Two consequences. Too small a max_tokens gets consumed during reasoning and returns finish_reason: "length" with a null content, which looks like a failure but is just an exhausted budget (2000+ is a safer floor). And cost runs well above a non-reasoning model at the same headline price.

Function calling

This model supports tools. Replies may carry tool_calls; run them and append the results as role: "tool" messages, then call again.

{
  "model": "deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
  "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Paris?" }],
  "tools": [{
    "type": "function",
    "function": {
      "name": "get_weather",
      "parameters": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": { "city": { "type": "string" } },
        "required": ["city"]
      }
    }
  }]
}

Structured output

Supports response_format, so the model returns JSON matching a schema you give it instead of prose you have to parse.

{
  "model": "deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
  "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "..." }],
  "response_format": {
    "type": "json_schema",
    "json_schema": {
      "name": "result",
      "schema": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": { "answer": { "type": "string" } },
        "required": ["answer"]
      }
    }
  }
}
