# Atlas with DeepInfra in 2026

> DeepInfra offers GPT OSS 120B at an input price of $0.037 per Mtok, making it a leader in cost-optimized open-weights models for Atlas.

DeepInfra is the go-to provider for Atlas users in 2026 seeking to drive their AI coding agent with open-weights models at the absolute lowest per-token prices available in the models.dev registry. With input costs as low as $0.037 per Mtok for GPT OSS 120B and a massive 1,048,576 token context window for DeepSeek V4 Flash, DeepInfra makes whole-repository context economically viable for complex coding tasks within Atlas.

## Key takeaways

- DeepInfra offers the lowest per-token prices for open-weights models in 2026, making it highly cost-effective for Atlas.
- GPT OSS 120B is available for $0.037 per Mtok input, roughly 4x cheaper than Groq and 9x cheaper than Cerebras.
- DeepSeek V4 Flash provides a 1,048,576 token context window for $0.09 per Mtok input, enabling whole-repo context.
- Max output is often clipped at 16,384 tokens on many DeepInfra models, which can affect very long single-shot rewrites.
- DeepInfra is open-weights only; a second provider block is needed in Atlas for frontier models like Claude or GPT-5.
- Atlas integrates DeepInfra via a dedicated `@ai-sdk/deepinfra` package, ensuring a first-class developer experience.

## Why choose DeepInfra for Atlas in 2026?

In 2026, DeepInfra stands out as the premier choice for Atlas users prioritizing cost-efficiency with open-weights models. It offers the lowest per-token prices in the models.dev registry, with GPT OSS 120B available for just $0.037 per Mtok input.

DeepInfra provides Atlas developers with unparalleled cost savings for open-weights models. For instance, GPT OSS 120B is roughly 4x cheaper on DeepInfra at $0.037 per Mtok input compared to Groq's $0.15, and about 9x cheaper than Cerebras at $0.35. This makes DeepInfra the floor for cost-optimizing agent loops within Atlas. Furthermore, DeepInfra integrates direct with Atlas through a dedicated `@ai-sdk/deepinfra` provider package, eliminating the need for generic OpenAI-compatible shims and ensuring a first-class experience. The availability of DeepSeek V4 Flash with its full 1,048,576 token context window for only $0.09 per Mtok input makes processing entire code repositories economically viable for Atlas's code indexing by AST declarations using tree-sitter, and its Axis, hybrid semantic and keyword code search.

## DeepInfra's Context Window and Pricing for Atlas

DeepInfra provides Atlas users with impressive context windows, including up to 1,048,576 tokens for models like DeepSeek V4 Flash, which costs $0.09 per Mtok for input. This enables Atlas to process entire codebases economically.

Atlas developers leveraging DeepInfra can access substantial context windows, crucial for tasks like code analysis and large-scale refactoring. Models such as DeepSeek V4 Flash, DeepSeek V4 Pro, MiMo-V2.5-Pro, and GLM-5.2 offer an expansive context window of up to 1,048,576 tokens. This allows Atlas to maintain a comprehensive understanding of your codebase, supporting features like its ability to read git branches, status, and diffs. Pricing is highly competitive: GPT OSS 120B is $0.037 per Mtok input and $0.17 per Mtok output. DeepSeek V4 Flash is $0.09 per Mtok input and $0.18 per Mtok output. Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B is $0.05 per Mtok input and $0.20 per Mtok output. For more advanced coding tasks, Kimi K2.7 Code is $0.74 per Mtok input and $3.50 per Mtok output, while GLM-5.2 is $0.93 per Mtok input and $3.00 per Mtok output. These prices make DeepInfra a compelling choice for balancing capability and cost within Atlas.

## Tradeoffs: When DeepInfra might not be the best fit for Atlas

While DeepInfra excels in cost and input context, Atlas users should note its output limitations; many models, like GLM-5.1, clip max output at 16,384 tokens. Furthermore, DeepInfra exclusively offers open-weights models.

Atlas developers must consider DeepInfra's tradeoffs when selecting a model. A significant limitation is the hard-clipped maximum output token count on most models. For instance, GLM-5.1, GLM-5, Kimi K2.6, and DeepSeek V4 Pro all cap output at 16,384 tokens. This can truncate very long single-shot file rewrites or extensive documentation generation, potentially requiring Atlas to break down tasks into smaller chunks. Another key consideration is that DeepInfra is an open-weights only provider. This means that frontier models like Claude, GPT-5, or Gemini are not available. If your Atlas workflow requires the current capabilities or proprietary models from these providers, you will need to configure a second provider block within Atlas to serve as a fallback or primary source for those specific models.

## Integrating DeepInfra with Atlas for optimal performance

Integrating DeepInfra with Atlas is streamlined thanks to its dedicated `@ai-sdk/deepinfra` package, avoiding generic shims. This ensures a first-class experience for Atlas users, allowing direct model switching and configuration in 2026.

Atlas is designed to let you switch the active model and provider on the fly, and DeepInfra's integration is robust. The dedicated `@ai-sdk/deepinfra` package ensures that Atlas does not have to fall back to a generic OpenAI-compatible shim, providing a more stable and optimized connection. To get started, Atlas users in 2026 can create a DeepInfra API key and export it as `DEEPINFRA_API_KEY`, or use `atlas login` to securely store it. After confirming the registry with `atlas models deepinfra`, you can configure your `atlas.json` to pin a cheap slot for tasks like generating titles, summaries, or driving subagents. For example, setting `"small_model": "deepinfra/openai/gpt-oss-120b"` leverages the highly cost-effective GPT OSS 120B. For your main model, you might set it to `"deepinfra/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.7-Code"` or `"deepinfra/zai-org/GLM-5.2"`, then use the `/models` command in the TUI to switch between them as needed for different coding tasks.

## Setup

1. Create a DeepInfra API key through their platform.
2. Export your DeepInfra API key as an environment variable: `export DEEPINFRA_API_KEY='your_api_key_here'`, or run `atlas login` and select DeepInfra to store it in the Atlas credential store.
3. Run `atlas models deepinfra` in your terminal to confirm Atlas has resolved the DeepInfra model catalog.
4. Pin a cost-effective model for smaller tasks by adding or updating your `atlas.json` configuration: `"small_model": "deepinfra/openai/gpt-oss-120b"`. This is ideal for titles, summaries, and subagents.
5. Set your main model in `atlas.json` to a capable option like `"deepinfra/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.7-Code"` or `"deepinfra/zai-org/GLM-5.2"`.
6. Use the `/models` command within the Atlas TUI to switch between your configured DeepInfra models on the fly.
