Common questions
Is DeepSeek cheaper than GPT?
On 10 November 2026, the median DeepSeek model on this list costs $0.265 per million input tokens and $0.92 per million output tokens, against $2.00 and $10.00 for OpenAI. By that measure DeepSeek is cheaper, but compare the specific models you would use, since both providers sell models at very different price points.
What is the cheapest DeepSeek model compared with the cheapest GPT model?
The cheapest DeepSeek model on this list is DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 at $0.07 in and $0.14 out per million tokens. The cheapest OpenAI model is gpt-oss-20b at $0.02 in and $0.03 out.
Which has the larger context window, DeepSeek or GPT?
The largest DeepSeek context on this list is 1.05M tokens (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017) and the largest GPT context is 1.05M tokens (GPT-6.1 Terra Pro).
How should I choose between DeepSeek and GPT for a production agent?
Price per token is one input. Run both on a set of your own real cases, count how often each needs a retry or a human check, and compare the total cost of a correct answer rather than the cost of a token.
Choosing a model for a production agent
Price is one input. Quality on your own cases, latency and the cost of retries decide the rest. Tell me what you are building.
