Questions people ask
Is deepseek-r1 better than deepseek-v3.2?
deepseek-v3.2 outperforms deepseek-r1 on 9 of 9 shared benchmarks. See the benchmark comparison above for specifics: deepseek-r1 and deepseek-v3.2 have different strengths across reasoning, coding, math and multimodal tasks.
Which is cheaper, deepseek-r1 or deepseek-v3.2?
deepseek-v3.2 is cheaper. deepseek-r1 costs $4.00/$4.00 per 1M input/output tokens, while deepseek-v3.2 costs $0.56/$1.68.
Can I use deepseek-r1 and deepseek-v3.2 through the same API?
Yes. Requesty provides a single OpenAI-compatible API that routes to both. Change just the "model" parameter to switch between "novita/deepseek/deepseek-r1" and "vertex/deepseek-v3.2", no other code changes needed.
What are the context windows?
deepseek-r1 supports up to 64K tokens of context. deepseek-v3.2 supports up to 164K tokens. Longer context means you can feed larger documents or codebases in a single prompt, though quality often degrades past 128K for most models.
Switch between deepseek-r1 and deepseek-v3.2 with one line of code
Requesty provides a single OpenAI-compatible API for 600+ models. Change the model parameter, not your code.
