A two-week free DeepSeek window on Fikra API.

By James Miano. Published 2 November 2026.

Fikra API is opening a shared $400 provider-credit pool for the temporary free DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Economy route, served through BytePlus ModelArk.

The offer runs for two weeks from launch, or until the shared provider-credit pool is depleted — whichever comes first. It is not a permanent free tier and is subject to the published account and request limits.

What is included

Fair use

The normal Fikra account limits still apply. The promotion is shared across users, so unusually heavy automated traffic can consume the pool quickly. Fikra may close the window early when the budget is exhausted.

After the window

The free alias stops accepting new requests. The regular paid ModelArk DeepSeek routes remain available at their published peak and off-peak rates. No customer balance is charged for requests accepted while the free promotion is active.

Availability is controlled by the live budget gate, not by a promise that the model remains free indefinitely.
