Frequently Asked Questions about DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B

How much does the DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B API cost per 1M tokens?+

DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B by DeepSeek is priced at $0.14 per 1M input tokens and $0.28 per 1M output tokens. With prompt caching enabled, cached input tokens cost $0.014 per 1M tokens, and asynchronous Batch API requests receive a 50% discount.

Should I use a $20/month subscription or the DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B pay-as-you-go API?+

A flat $20/month consumer subscription is predictable for daily interactive chat and manual coding. However, if you are building software, running automated workflows, or sending low-to-moderate volume with prompt caching enabled, the pay-as-you-go API is typically far more cost-effective and offers higher rate limits without manual UI caps.

How many words and pages fit in DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B's context window?+

DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B features a 128K tokens context window, which equals approximately 96,000 English words or ~256 standard single-spaced pages in a single prompt. Its maximum output generation per turn is 8,192 tokens.

Can I run DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B locally on my own GPU (Open Weights)?+

Yes, DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B (236B) releases open weights that can be self-hosted locally or on private cloud GPUs using vLLM, Ollama, SGLang, or llama.cpp.

Does DeepSeek train on data sent to the DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B API, and is commercial use allowed?+

100% Isolated when self-hosted on private GPUs or VPC. License tier: Permissive Open-Weights (Apache 2.0 / MIT Commercial). Full commercial ownership of generated outputs. Supported deployment channels include: Self-Hosted GPU (vLLM / Ollama), Private VPC, or Managed Serverless API.

How does DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B perform on coding and reasoning benchmarks?+

DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B achieves a composite Intelligence Index of 42/100, scoring 42.1% on SWE-bench Verified, 49.5% on GPQA Diamond, 69.8% on MMLU-Pro, and 1272 pts on Chatbot Arena Elo.

What is DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B best used for?+

DeepSeek-Coder-V2 236B is best suited for: Refactorisation de grands dépôts, migration de code et API développeur. Assessment: La preuve historique qu'un modèle MoE ouvert peut surpasser les modèles propriétaires en code.
