Why this status
Cited to the technical paper and the official model card. Not verified because the context window and the parameter count could not be found in any cited primary source — the value may be correct, but this dataset cannot yet show where it came from. Modalities recorded as text-to-text. No image, audio or video capability appears anywhere in the primary sources, which labs advertise prominently when present. Capabilities evidenced from the primary sources: reasoning: “View a PDF of the paper titled DeepSeek-R1: Incentivizing Reasoning Capability in LLMs via Reinforcement Learning, by DeepSeek-AI and 199 other authors View PDF HTML (exp”.

Pricing
The price a lab's own page showed on the day that page was captured. That is what a snapshot can prove; it is not necessarily the launch price, and prices are often cut later. Citing the live pricing page instead would give a number with no date at all.
