DeepSeek Chat
DeepSeek Chat is served by 2 providers that kRouter can route to, with a 128K-token context window and pricing from $0.14 per 1M input tokens. Because more than one provider offers it, the price you pay depends on which one you route to — the same request, the same model, different bills.

What DeepSeek Chat is suited for
At 128K the window is modest, so it is better suited to focused edits than to long agent runs that accumulate history. It answers directly rather than reasoning at length, which keeps latency and output cost down on routine edits. Tool and function calling are supported, so it can drive an agent loop. Cached input is billed at $0.00 against $0.14 fresh, which is the difference that matters most for agent work — the same context is resent on every turn.
