DeepSeek V4 Flash
GPT 5.6 SolDeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 is DeepSeek's efficiency-optimized Mixture-of-Experts text model, designed for fast inference and workflows requiring tool use, function calling, and structured outputs. It features 284B total parameters with 13B activated parameters and supports a 1M-token context window with cost-effective pricing.
GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI's flagship multimodal model, designed for complex reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows. It supports text and image inputs with an extensive context window of 1,050,000 tokens. Featuring thinking, tool use, and structured outputs capabilities, it is particularly strong at command-line and multi-step coding tasks.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
