deepseek-r1
DeepSeek/Open weights/2 providers
DeepSeek-R1 is an advanced, open-weights reasoning model by DeepSeek. Designed to compete with flagship reasoning models like OpenAI's o1, it focuses heavily on complex problem-solving in mathematics, coding, and science by "thinking" before it speaks, natively outputting a detailed, step-by-step chain of thought.MoreLess

deepseek-r1 questions
Which providers serve deepseek-r1?
deepseek-r1 is available from 2 providers through Requesty: DeepInfra Inc., Novita AI. All endpoints share one OpenAI-compatible API and one key, and Requesty fails over between them automatically.
How much does deepseek-r1 cost?
Pricing starts at $0.85 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens on DeepInfra Inc., the cheapest endpoint. Prices vary by provider and region; the table above shows every endpoint. Those are the upstream provider rates: pay as you go adds 5% on top, or 0% if you bring your own provider keys.
Is deepseek-r1 open weights?
Yes. deepseek-r1 is an open-weights model from DeepSeek, which is why multiple inference providers can host it. Provider choice affects price, latency, and data-privacy terms, all compared above.
What is the context window of deepseek-r1?
deepseek-r1 supports up to 64K tokens of context, with up to 8K output tokens per response. Some providers expose a smaller window; check the per-endpoint context column above.
How do I use deepseek-r1 with the OpenAI SDK?
Install the OpenAI SDK, set base_url to "https://router.requesty.ai/v1", set your API key to your Requesty key, and set the model to "deepinfra/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1" or any endpoint id from the table above. The quickstart section shows Python, JavaScript and cURL snippets.
Route deepseek-r1 through one endpoint
