Pricing, context window, capabilities, and release date — pulled from each provider's public docs. Both are available via the same AIgateway OpenAI-compatible endpoint; flip the model string to switch.
Both models stream in parallel through your own AIgateway key. Tokens, latency, and cost update as they arrive.

We introduce DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, a multimodal Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 552B backbone parameters and support for contexts of up to one million tokens. The model natively processes images and text, and generates text autoregressively.
MiniMax M3.1 Flash is a fast, cost-efficient multimodal model for agentic tasks, coding, and computer use. It accepts text, image, and video input, always reasons before answering with adjustable effort, and has a 1M-token context window.
