You know, that DeepSeek isn't a Microsoft product, so why do you post here in this forum?

DeepSeek R1 use is currently priced at $0, and use is subject to rate limits which may change at any time. Pricing may change, and your continued use will be subject to the new price. The model is in preview; a new deployment may be required for continued use.

Yes, DeepSeek is now available! Currently, DeepSeek R1 is priced at $0, but please note that usage is subject to rate limits which may change at any time. Pricing may also change in the future, and your continued use will be subject to the new price. Additionally, since the model is in preview, a new deployment may be required for continued use.

Hi @Sloven Anzulovic,

Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A.

Deepseek R1 is a newly launched model that is not yet integrated with Azure. As a result, its pricing details are not available in the standard Azure pricing calculators or documentation.

For accurate and detailed pricing information, I recommend reaching out to the sales or support team directly.

First, how come that everyone in the comments mentions that it's already integrated at 0$, who should I listen to, between the three devs in the comments, and your answer ?

Maybe the situation change since january ? Because right now deepseek R1 is in catalog (link). Still no info on price though.

Thanks for any help !

Is this model still free? I assume so since I can't find any pricing information on Azure.

If there are rate limits, where can I find what they are?

Thanks,

Brendan

I second, the whole communication around this is very weird. Catalog says it's there but no info on price, the three forum guys say it's there at 0$ but we don't know for how long, and the Moderator Singh says it's not integrated yet ??

Hoping to get more info on this in the future. :/

Azure has AI foundry portal now which shows price, throughput, quality etc. Here is the documentation on how to use it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-foundry/how-to/benchmark-model-in-catalog

@aman kumar jha It requires a paid account though, which I don't have specifically because I would like to check the prices before.The catalog is already publicly available by all, I don't get why they can't display all prices on it.
