384 tokens maximum per image after automatic resizing to roughly 800x800, up to 600 images per request, 32 MiB per image inline or 64 MiB via the Files API, 48 MiB request body, 8192 px per side dropping to 4096 px once a request carries 15+ images. Images accepted only in user messages. DeepSeek DeepSeek's announcement claims it matches V4-Flash on text, agents, reasoning and world knowledge while making a large jump on multimodal agent benchmarks, close to Opus-4.8 (DeepSeek). Docs list no pricing or benchmarks, so the open question is whether it inherits V4 Flash's peak/off-peak rates ($0.22/$0.66 off-peak, $0.44/$1.32 peak per 1M). If it does, the cheapest credible vision-agent option just changed.
