Pricing notes

As of 2026-09-14: Official API at api-docs.deepseek.com with very aggressive Flash/Pro token pricing (often cents per MTok on Flash tiers). Strong coding/reasoning open releases also hostable elsewhere. Geopolitical/compliance caveats for some orgs — host weights on Fireworks/Together/DeepInfra if direct API is blocked.
