| Parameter | Type | Default | Range / values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| temperature | number | 0.7 | 0 to 2 | Sampling temperature. 0 = deterministic, 2 = maximum randomness. |
| top_p | number | 0.9 | 0 to 1 | Nucleus sampling probability mass. Lower = more focused. |
| max_tokens | number | 4096 | 1 to 393216 | Maximum output tokens. |
| stop | string | - | - | Up to 4 strings where the model will stop generating further tokens. |
| enable_thinking | boolean | true | - | Enable step-by-step reasoning before answering. |
| reasoning_effort | enum | medium | none, low, medium, high, max | Reasoning effort level. none disables thinking. low, medium, high, and max set bounded thinking budgets sized to the selected model. Sent as an OpenAI-style... |
| thinking_budget | number | 32768 | 1 to 393216 | Maximum tokens reserved for the reasoning process. Up to 393216. |

Variants are alternate versions of DeepSeek V4 Flash with their own model id. Depending on the variant, they can differ in serving region, pricing, or supported parameters; everything else works the same way.
Call it with the model id deepseek-v4-flash:variant1.
Call it with the model id deepseek-v4-flash:variant2.
On EmpirioLabs, DeepSeek V4 Flash is billed pay as you go: Input $0.14 per 1M prompt tokens; Output $0.28 per 1M generated tokens; Web Search (Linkup) $0.013 per call when invoked. The live rate card on this page always matches what the API charges.
DeepSeek V4 Flash supports a 1M-token context window with up to 393,216 output tokens per response.
Yes. DeepSeek V4 Flash serves the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API, so existing OpenAI SDKs work by pointing base_url at https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1 and setting the model id to deepseek-v4-flash.
DeepSeek V4 Flash is available as 3 model ids: the default deepseek-v4-flash plus deepseek-v4-flash:variant1 (Singapore), deepseek-v4-flash:variant2 (China). Variants can differ in serving region, pricing, or supported parameters; the rate cards for each are on this page.
Yes. The EmpirioLabs playground runs DeepSeek V4 Flash in the browser with the same parameters the API exposes, so you can test prompts before writing code.
Create an EmpirioLabs account, then generate a key under API Keys in the dashboard. Billing is pay-as-you-go credits, so you only pay for the requests you make.
