Why this status

Every value this record asserts — date (2025-08-21), context window (128K) and parameter count (671B) — was found in an archived primary source, checked 2026-08-10. Modalities recorded as text-to-text. The primary source states the model is text-only.

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.

Input $0.27 per million tokens observed September 1, 2025 · archived snapshot (2025-09-01)

Current information, elsewhere

This record is a historical one: every figure above is traced to a dated primary source. For what is true today — live pricing, current rankings, availability — these are better maintained than anything here could be.

What changed from DeepSeek-V3

Compared with the previous release in this series. A field appears only when both records state a value — where one does not, it is listed as uncomparable rather than dropped, because a gap in our research is not a finding about the model.
