Vercel has added DeepSeek V4.1 Flash to Token Pass, its subscription for Pro teams that runs through AI Gateway. The model joins Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3, and Vercel says more models are coming.

Key points
  • Vercel added DeepSeek V4.1 Flash to Token Pass, next to Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3.
  • Token Pass costs $30/month on Pro teams and grants $80 in monthly credit via AI Gateway.
  • The DeepSeek model uses the latest weights (1017), according to Vercel.
  • It works with coding agents such as fx, Pi, Cline and Command Code, or with the AI SDK.
  • Zero Data Retention is enabled by default.

What Token Pass now offers

According to Vercel, Token Pass now includes DeepSeek V4.1 Flash alongside Kimi K3 from Moonshot AI and GLM 5.3 from Z.ai. Each model is accessed through its preferred provider. Vercel's changelog also notes that the DeepSeek model uses the latest weights (1017).

The company's announcement graphic shows a Token Pass wallet in which a new card labeled DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is pushed to the front, while the other models shift up. A line reading "More models coming soon" suggests the lineup will keep growing, though the source gives no names or dates for future additions.

Pricing and how it works

Token Pass is a $30/month subscription available on Pro teams. Vercel states that it grants $80 in monthly credit and runs through AI Gateway. The source does not give per-token prices for any of the included models, so it is unclear how quickly the credit would be used up with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash compared with the other options.

Vercel also says Zero Data Retention is enabled by default, which is relevant for teams that want to keep prompts and outputs from being stored.

Using the model with coding agents and the AI SDK

The subscription can be used with any coding agent, according to Vercel, which names fx, Pi, Cline and Command Code as examples. Developers who prefer to build their own tooling can do so with the AI SDK.

  • Add DeepSeek V4.1 Flash from the Token Pass page in your team's AI Gateway dashboard.
  • Or read the Token Pass documentation for setup instructions.

What it means for teams

For Pro teams already using Token Pass, the change adds a third model choice to the same monthly credit pool, without a separate subscription for each provider. The source describes access through a single AI Gateway setup and compatibility with several coding agents, so teams can try the model in tools they may already use. Further details, such as performance or limits, are not provided in the announcement and would need to be checked in the Token Pass documentation.
