DeepSeek V4 Flash API Public Beta: Scores Near Opus 4.8, Natively Integrates with Codex

AI寒武纪 · wechat · 2026-07-31

DeepSeek V4 Flash official API has entered public beta. Its agent capabilities have seen a massive leap, scoring 54.4% on DeepSWE and 82.7% on TerminalBench—surpassing GLM5.2 and its own V4 Pro, and approaching Opus 4.8. Meanwhile, its pricing remains highly disruptive ($0.14/M input and $0.28/M output), seen as a strong response to OpenAI's price cuts.

Furthermore, V4 Flash now natively supports the Responses API format, allowing seamless integration with Codex. By running an official setup script or manually editing config files, users can easily configure and use DeepSeek models across Codex CLI, ChatGPT desktop, and the VSCode Codex plugin.
