FAQ
What model ID should I send for deepseek/deepseek-chat?
Use deepseek/deepseek-chat exactly as shown in the current TackleKey pricing catalog, then confirm it is still available before a larger run.
How is the deepseek/deepseek-chat example cost calculated?
Each example multiplies the displayed public price per one million tokens by the sample input or output token count. It is an estimate, not a billing promise.
Is deepseek/deepseek-chat the cheapest or best model?
This page does not make that claim. Compare live DeepSeek and cross-provider prices, endpoint support, request success, and output quality for your workload.
