Figures checked 1 Nov 2026. A dash means not published on the sources we checked, so it stays blank rather than estimated. AA index and speed are from Artificial Analysis at the max setting.
DeepSeek names these settings reasoning_effort. Price per token is the same at every level. Higher levels usually use more output tokens. api-docs.deepseek.com (opens in a new tab)
| Level | When to use it, per DeepSeek | AA index | Tokens/s |
|---|---|---|---|
| none | No per-level advice published | – | – |
| low | No per-level advice published | – | – |
| high default | No per-level advice published | – | – |
| max | No per-level advice published | 23 artificialanalysis.ai (opens in a new tab) | 81 artificialanalysis.ai (opens in a new tab) |
Our rule of thumb: Simple or speed-critical work: low. Standard work: the lab's default. Complex work: high. Use xhigh or max only when your own tests show a gain, as OpenAI and Anthropic both advise. developers.openai.com (opens in a new tab)platform.claude.com (opens in a new tab)

DeepSeek 
DeepSeek says V4.1-Flash-1017 finishes tasks faster with shorter answers at unchanged API prices, from $0.15 in and $0.60 out per 1M tokens off-peak. The weights are on Hugging Face under the MIT licence. Benchmark gains are DeepSeek's own figures.
DeepSeek
DeepSeek's Search and Fetch APIs give agents web results and pages as text. Calls made through its own harness, Claude Code or Codex were free until billing began on 1 November 2026, Beijing time. More agent traffic means more inference load on DeepSeek's capacity.
