Claude Opus 4.6 vs Deepseek V4 Flash

Specification table

Both models are served through the same OpenAI-compatible Tokenator endpoint — switching between them means changing the model field in your request. The table below lists only the attributes Tokenator takes from its own routing configuration, with no editorial guesswork.

Differences in purpose

Claude Opus 4.6

Opus 4.6 is Anthropic’s strongest model for coding and long-running professional tasks.

Token usage

Tokenator deducts (input + output) × model multiplier from the key limit. Claude Opus 4.6 has a multiplier of 1.8×, Deepseek V4 Flash — 1.1× – 1.3×. A range means several upstream providers serve the model at different costs, so the final coefficient depends on which one handled the request.

See the API documentation for details on counting.
