Benchmarks

The best result for DeepSeek V4 Flash in each benchmark Tokscale tracks. Each benchmark has its own unit, run conditions and source, so compare a score only with other models on the same benchmark. Rank is among the models Tokscale matched in that benchmark.

Pricing

List prices from models.dev in US dollars per 1M tokens, retrieved Nov 12, 2026. Azure is the reference price for the estimates below. It is the first provider listed; models.dev lists no price from the lab's own API.

Price at real agent usageEstimate at list prices

What 1M tokens cost at the reference list price when they split into input, output and cache the way Tokscale users' agents used them. It is not what anyone paid.

No cache

Cache reads were 94% of DeepSeek V4 Flash tokens in the last 7 days and 96% of all tokens. The 3:1 blend, (3 × input + output) ÷ 4, is the usual comparison and ignores cache.

Assumptions

  • Azure list prices per 1M tokens: input $0.19, output $0.51.
  • This model's mix is its own input, output, cache and reasoning tokens in the last 7 days.
  • The community mix is the tokens of every identified model in the last 7 days.
  • This is an estimate at list prices, not what anyone paid.
  • Reasoning tokens are priced as output.
  • Long-context tiers, batch pricing and discounts are not applied.
  • Token mixes come from public Tokscale submissions. Hidden accounts are excluded.
  • No cache-read price is listed, so cache reads are priced as input.
  • No cache-write price is listed, so cache writes are priced as input.

Each score keeps its own source, unit and run conditions. Tokscale does not combine benchmarks into one score, and a missing score means the model was not evaluated, not that it scored zero.
