Overview

A fast, low-cost distill of DeepSeek V4 with native reasoning and a large context window. It punches well above its price on math and coding, and the reasoning mode can be toggled per request. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens count toward output cost, so heavy chain-of-thought usage raises the effective price. Hosted by several providers with healthy uptime.
