How we price

Order

Providers are listed cheapest input rate first, then by output rate, a tie going to the creator's own listing. A provider that lists the model without a published rate sits at the end.

Prices

Base-tier, on-demand rates in USD per 1M tokens, converted at ECB reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. Cached-input and batch rates show only where a provider publishes them. "Cheapest" marks the one provider with the lowest input and output pair; a tie wears no badge.

Cost

Input rate times the input tokens plus output rate times the output tokens, at the monthly volume set above the table. Cached-input, batch, long-context and reasoning-token billing are not modelled.

Transparency and funding

Heads up: Base-tier, on-demand rates per 1M tokens; cached, batch and long-context tiers excluded. A provider may serve a shorter context or a quantized build than the creator's release. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.

Estimated cost to self-host

DeepSeek V3 Turbo needs about 373 GB of GPU memory at 4-bit with 32K context. The cheapest rental that fits is 8× A100 at about $9,850 a month.

That costs the same as roughly 18B tokens a month on Novita's API. Self-hosting is more expensive below that volume.

What it costs to self-host DeepSeek V3 Turbo at each precision: the memory it needs, the cheapest rental that holds it, that rental's month and the API volume it pays off at

Estimates based on median on-demand rates for Nvidia GPUs. Memory is weights plus KV cache for one request, using FP8 KV cache where supported and FP16/BF16 otherwise. Break-even assumes a 5:1 input-to-output ratio. No guarantee of runtime support, usable performance, or that a matching quantized build exists. Pricing methodology.

Common questions

What is DeepSeek V3 Turbo good for?

General chat and coding with tool calling, through Novita AI's own build of DeepSeek V3, which it says is tuned for speed.

When is DeepSeek V3 Turbo not a good fit?

Long-context work: its window is shorter than standard V3's. No structured output, and it is text only.

What is the cheapest way to run DeepSeek V3 Turbo?

Hosted, unless you push serious volume. Novita charges $0.40 in / $1.30 out per 1M tokens. The cheapest rental that fits is 8x A100 at $9,850 a month, which costs the same as about 18B tokens a month on that API.

Can I self-host DeepSeek V3 Turbo?

Yes. The weights are released under the DeepSeek Model License. At 4-bit it needs about 373 GB of GPU memory, which starts at roughly $9,850 a month on the cheapest rental that fits.
