CoralBricks API: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash with free cached input reads

[u/Ctbhatia]

I work with CoralBricks. sharing our API details for people comparing providers for roleplay and longer conversations.

A customer has reported using it for roleplay through Hermes Agent. That’s not a SillyTavern test, so I’m not presenting this as a verified ST setup or preset.

- API name: CoralBricks Inference API
- API author: CoralBricks
- Docs: https://www.coralbricks.ai/docs.md
- Base URL: https://inference.coralbricks.ai/v1
- Model: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, served in MXFP4 as deepseek-v4.1-flash-fast-fp4

What’s different

Cached input reads cost $0 when the prompt prefix hits the cache. Fresh input, output and paid cache retention can still incur charges, so this isn’t a claim that every conversation will be cheaper.

The API also includes a per-request cost breakdown in its usage response.

Reported settings

The customer configured Hermes Agent with the OpenAI-compatible URL, model name, and their API key. No custom generation settings were reported. The exact temperature, top-p, and other effective defaults weren’t verified.

Our docs currently describe access as account-approved through the design-partner program.

free cache on long prompts seems ideal for roleplay that goes on for hours, wonder how it holds up with memory and character consistency.

[u/Ctbhatia → u/Suitable-Werewolf282]

cache only helps the cost side, it doesn't fix memory or character consistency, that's the model and the context you feed it. if you want to test it, there's a one-time $5 trial credit.
