You can buy from DeepSeek directly, or from 28 other hosts
We hold offerings sold by DeepSeek itself as well as by independent hosts. Buying direct is not automatically the cheapest route, and it is not automatically the same product either — hosts differ on quantisation, served context window and rate limits. Publishes cache-hit and cache-miss input rates separately, and has used off-peak discounts.

Measured quality across DeepSeek models
Our own probe suite at temperature 0, scored by deterministic checks — no LLM judge and no vendor claim. Measured on request, so most of the catalog is unscored; a blank is not measured, never a low score. Confidence falls when probes could not be read, which happens on models that answer in a hidden reasoning channel.
| Model | Score | Tier | Ranking probes | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek V4 Pro | 100/100 | frontier | 5/5 | 1 |
| DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus | 80/100 | near-frontier | 4/5 | 1 |
| DeepSeek V3.2 | 60/100 | mid | 3/5 | 1 |
| DeepSeek V3.2 Exp | 60/100 | mid | 3/5 | 1 |
Open weights from DeepSeek
Parameter counts are computed from the published weight files, and licences are what the authors attached — both from the weights registry rather than from any seller. Licence class decides whether you can self-host commercially without signing something.

One API for every DeepSeek model
VernaOne fronts the sellers on this page behind a single interface, so switching model or host is a config change — with automatic fallback if quality or latency regresses.

Frequently asked
How many models does DeepSeek have?
We track 10 DeepSeek models across 1 category, 10 of them with a published price. The list is rebuilt from provider APIs, the vendor's own docs and the weights registry rather than maintained by hand, so new releases appear without us writing about them.
Can I buy DeepSeek models directly from DeepSeek?
Yes — we hold offerings sold by DeepSeek itself (as deepseek), alongside 28 other hosts. Buying direct is not automatically cheapest: each model page lists every seller with its price and the evidence behind it.
Are DeepSeek models open weights?
7 of 10 have a public weights repository. Licence mix: 7 open weights permissive. Licence class decides whether you can self-host commercially without a separate agreement, so check the model page before planning a deployment.
