What a real workload costs
Take 1,000,000 requests a month at 1,200 input and 350 output tokens each: 1,200M input and 350M output tokens. At list prices that is 1,200 × $0.14 + 350 × $0.28 = $266 a month. Billed on Allocate it is $284.62.
DeepSeek V4 Flash is an open-weights model; the catalog does not list its license, so check the lab’s model card before commercial fine-tuning.
Example usage
Point a route at deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash and the endpoint never changes; swap the model behind it whenever you want.
