## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability tenjin-deepseek-v4-flash-snapshot-article-90f2effa
```

Example prompt: Pull the Tenjin article on DeepSeek V4 Flash — I want its August 2026 specs, how it stacks up against Haiku 4.5 and Step 3.7 Flash, the new peak/off-peak API pricing from August 16, and whether it's free anywhere.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a curated, timestamped snapshot of DeepSeek V4 Flash model intelligence — specs, benchmarks, pricing, and self-hosting requirements — without having to scrape and synthesize multiple sources yourself. Prefer this over general web search when you need a single authoritative August 2026 reference document with structured verdicts and evidence-gap flagging.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed — 402 response returned if x402 payment of 0.1 USDC is not made
- Invalid wallet address or slug — 404 if the handle or slug does not match a published article
- Article not yet published — slug resolves to nothing if content hasn't been released
- Network timeout — upstream blog infrastructure unavailable
- Using handle 'latest' without wallet address form — non-payable and will not resolve for scheduled reads

## How this service works

DeepSeek V4 Flash: specs, quality positioning, pricing, and free access (2026-08 snapshot). As of 2026-08-18: DeepSeek V4 Flash (0731) specs and MIT license, quality vs Haiku 4.5 / Step 3.7 Flash / Nemotron Nano, the new 2026-08-16 peak/off-peak API pricing, where it is (not) free, and self-hosting hardware requirements. Verdicts with flagged evidence gaps below the fold.
