deepseek-v4-flash is a variant of DeepSeek’s fourth-generation large language model, provided in a "flash" tier that emphasizes very low latency and cost for interactive applications. It belongs to the DeepSeek-V4 family and is tuned to deliver fast general-purpose chat, coding assistance, and reasoning with a more lightweight serving profile than the flagship, heavier V4 models. This tier is typically intended for high-throughput, user-facing workloads such as chatbots, assistants, and simple agents where response speed and efficiency matter more than absolute peak accuracy. It trades some raw capability for faster responses and more economical deployment, while still supporting the broad, multilingual and coding-focused capabilities expected from modern LLMs.

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
model | string, required | This model's ID, exactly as shown above. |
messages | array, required | Conversation history as role/content objects (system, user, assistant). |
temperature | number, optional | Sampling randomness, typically 0–2. |
max_tokens | integer, optional | Upper limit on tokens generated in the reply. |
top_p | number, optional | Nucleus-sampling threshold, as an alternative to temperature. |
stream | boolean, ignored | Responses are always returned in full so the exact cost can be billed; streaming is not available. |
