Overview

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is a reasoning model from DeepSeek, available through the Inference.net serverless API. Use the same OpenAI-compatible request shape across the catalog and switch models by changing a single identifier.

The API supports streaming responses and project-scoped credentials. Usage, token volume, and spend appear in the dashboard automatically, so the model can move from evaluation to production without a second integration path.

QUICKSTARTGet API key

import OpenAI from 'openai'

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://api.inference.net/v1',
  apiKey: process.env.INFERENCE_API_KEY,
})

const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }],
})

PROMPT CACHING

Keep the prompt prefix stable and byte-identical across calls.
Do not send prompt_cache_key. These routes do not support it and may reject the request.
Check usage.prompt_tokens_details.cached_tokens in the response to confirm cache reads.
