Workload cost calculator
Share of input tokens served from cache. Applied only to models with a cache meter.
Rows with a rate that changes by time of day, promo window or service tier are priced for this scenario instead of their flat listed rate; a brand-colored label under the model name names which one applies. Context size for band-priced rows uses the input-token count below.
Picking a specific hour also previews time-of-day rates that are scheduled but have not started billing yet; those rows are labelled · preview with their start instant. Now only ever shows rates that are billable at this moment.
What this lane charges right now

$0.90 + $1.62 + $0.065 = $2.59
How much to trust these numbers
The cheapest DeepSeek lane on Foundry, and cheaper than the Global tier — an inversion of the usual pattern, because this is a different host undercutting the first-party listing rather than a tier discount.
Azure Retail Prices API, product "Azure Fireworks Models": 'FW Deepseek-v4-Flash In DZ Tokens' $0.00015/1K, 'FW Deepseek-v4-Flash Cd In DZ Tokens' $0.00003/1K, 'FW Deepseek-v4-Flash Opt DZ Tokens' $0.00031/1K, effective 2026-08-01, uniform across all 20 commercial Data Zone regions with no US-Gov or rounding outlier. Captured 2026-08-22. Fireworks prices its own hosting, so this is not a multiple of DeepSeek's or Microsoft's rate, and the meter names no model snapshot.
