Versions
| Version | What it is | Sellers | From, in / out per 1M |
|---|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek R1 this pagedeepseek-r1 | Undated name: each seller decides which build it serves | 4 | $0.50 / $2.18 |
| DeepSeek R1 (0528 snapshot)deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528 | Dated snapshot, 28 May: meant to stay fixed | 9 | $0.50 / $2.15 |
Why there are several: the undated name can move to a newer build when the developer updates it, while a dated snapshot is meant to stay fixed, which can suit pipelines that need repeatable behaviour; an experimental build tests new features. Sellers price each version separately and not every seller offers every version, so check a seller's own docs for the build it serves.
