Deepseek V4 on AI Gateway

DeepSeek V4 is now available on Vercel AI Gateway.

There are 2 model variants: DeepSeek V4 Pro and DeepSeek V4 Flash. A 1M token context window is the default across both models.

DeepSeek V4 Pro focuses on agentic coding, formal mathematical reasoning, and long-horizon workflows. It handles feature development, bug fixing, and refactoring across stacks, with tool use that works across harnesses like MCP workflows and agent frameworks. It also writes clear, well-structured long-form documents.

DeepSeek V4 Flash performs close to V4 Pro on reasoning and holds up on simpler agent tasks, with a smaller parameter size for faster responses and lower API cost. It's a good fit for high-volume workloads and latency-sensitive use cases.

To use DeepSeek V4, set model to deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro or deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash in the AI SDK.

import { streamText } from 'ai';

const result = streamText({
  model: 'deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro', // or 'deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash'
  prompt:
    `Audit this repository for unsafe concurrent access patterns,
     propose a refactor that introduces proper synchronization,
     and open the changes as a PR with a migration plan.`,
});

AI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring retries, failover, and performance optimizations for higher-than-provider uptime. It includes built-in custom reporting, observability, Bring Your Own Key support, and intelligent provider routing with automatic retries.
