# DeepSeek V4 Flash — deprecation status

> No — DeepSeek V4 Flash is not deprecated as of August 3, 2026. DeepSeek has announced neither a deprecation nor a shutdown date for it.

The smaller half of DeepSeek V4 — 284B parameters with 13B active — and the landing place for every integration that used to call deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner. Thinking is a request parameter here rather than a separate id, which is what made those two aliases redundant. A million tokens of context at fourteen cents per million input is the reason it is the default migration target on the DeepSeek side of this catalog.
