TL;DR

deepseek-v4-flash / deepseek-v4-pro were missing from the model catalog's seed table, so both fell through to the deepseek family rule and inherited the deepseek-v3 row. Two numbers were wrong as a result: the context window (128K / 8K instead of 1M / 384K) and the price (V3's rate applied to both tiers, so a pro/flash split was invisible to anything that accounts by model id). This seeds the V4 ids from the vendor's published table and adds focused regression tests.

Changes

  • Changed core/providers/catalog.py (+29)
    • added seed rows for deepseek-flash (the vendor's current name for V4.1-Flash), deepseek-v4-flash (a retired alias that still resolves and is still billed at the Flash price) and deepseek-v4-pro - 1M context / 384K max output;
    • added ("deepseek-flash", ...) and ("deepseek-v4", ...) family rules ahead of the deepseek rule, so an unseen point release inherits the cheapest V4 tier instead of V3's rate.
  • Added tests/test_catalog.py (+65) - 4 tests / 8 parametrized cases.

Notes on the numbers

  • Source: https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing (read 2026-09-27).
  • V4 is priced by time of day and a catalog row holds a single number, so the row carries the peak rate; off-peak is exactly half of it. The peak number is the upper bound, which is the safe direction for a budget guard.
  • deepseek-flash and deepseek-v4-flash deliberately point at the same numbers: both spellings occur in real traffic, and separate rows would fragment cost accounting by spelling rather than by model.

Test Plan

  • python -m pytest tests/test_catalog.py -q -> 18 passed
  • ruff check and ruff format --check clean on both files (ruff 0.15.21, the version pinned in .pre-commit-config.yaml)

Dependency note

None. Stdlib-only change; the only new import is pytest in the test file.

Every DeepSeek V4 id used to miss the seed table and fall through to the
``deepseek`` family rule, i.e. inherit the deepseek-v3 row. Two numbers were
wrong as a result:

* window: V4 is 1M with 384K max output, not V3's 128K / 8K, so anything
  sizing a prompt against this catalog budgeted ~8x too small;
* price: V3's 0.27/1.10 was applied to both tiers, so a pro/flash split was
  invisible to any accounting keyed on model id.

Numbers come from the vendor's published table, read 2026-09-27:
https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing

Two details on that page shape the rows:

* ``deepseek-flash`` is the vendor's current name for V4.1-Flash. The id
  ``deepseek-v4-flash`` is a retired alias that still resolves and is still
  billed at the Flash price (page footnote 1), so both ids carry one row.
* V4 is priced by time of day and a catalog row holds a single number, so the
  peak rate is seeded: it is the upper bound, which is the safe direction for
  a budget guard. Off-peak is exactly half of it.

A ``deepseek-flash`` family rule is added as well, so a future
``deepseek-flash-*`` point release cannot fall back to V3 either.

tests/test_catalog.py gains coverage for the current and retired Flash ids
resolving to the vendor row, for the tiers staying priced apart, for gateway
spelling folding, and for unseen point releases not inheriting V3.

Merged into main as e7dea0c. Thank you @raymondginger2018-sudo — I checked every number against https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing today: 1M context and 384K output for both tiers, peak rates $0.30/$1.20 (Flash) and $1.32/$3.96 (Pro) per 1M tokens, and deepseek-v4-flash as a retired alias billed at the Flash price. Seeding both spellings to one row and putting the V4 family rules ahead of the generic deepseek rule is the right shape.
