**DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017** is served through Runware's **compatible endpoints**, which take another provider's request format. Point the SDK you already use at Runware by changing the base URL and the API key, and set `model` to `deepseek:v4.1@flash-1017`.

Requests and responses keep the provider's format, so **its reference documents every parameter**.

| Endpoint | Format |
| --- | --- |
| `/v1/chat/completions` | [OpenAI Chat Completions](https://runware.ai/docs/tools/compatible-apis#openai-chat-completions) |

### [Chat Completions](https://runware.ai/docs/models/deepseek-v4-1-flash-1017#chat-completions)

**cURL**:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.runware.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RUNWARE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek:v4.1@flash-1017",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}]
  }'
```

**Python**:

```python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="your_runware_api_key",
    base_url="https://api.runware.ai/v1",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek:v4.1@flash-1017",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

**TypeScript**:

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'your_runware_api_key',
  baseURL: 'https://api.runware.ai/v1',
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'deepseek:v4.1@flash-1017',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'What is the capital of France?' }],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

[Compatible APIs](https://runware.ai/docs/tools/compatible-apis#openai-chat-completions) covers streaming, tool calling and how the endpoint differs from OpenAI, and the [OpenAI API reference](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create) lists every parameter.

## Cost and speed

**Rates** (per 1M tokens)

- Input: `$0.15`
