Overview

History

DeepSeek V3 became available via the DeepSeek API on 2024-12-26.

Training & availability

Training data has a knowledge cutoff of 2024-07-31 — information about events after that date is unlikely to appear in the model's responses. DeepSeek has not released the underlying model weights — access is via their hosted API only.

Capabilities

Context window: 131K tokens.
Max output: 8K tokens.
Input modalities: text.

Recommended for: agentic, cheap.

Limitations

The knowledge cutoff is 20 months old — this model will not know about recent events, releases, or API changes.
Text-only — cannot process images, audio, or video inputs.

Pricing

Input: $0.2800 per 1M tokens
Output: $0.4200 per 1M tokens

Quick start

Minimal example using the OpenRouter API. Copy, paste, replace the key.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
    api_key="sk-or-...",
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek/deepseek-chat",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in one sentence."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
