Token prices are per 1M tokens: input / cached / output. abliteration.ai details are from its public pricing page and FAQ as of November 2, 2026.

The same base models, at lower prices

abliteration.ai's FAQ names the base models behind two of its current ids: DeepSeek V4.1-Flash-1017 for Abliterated Large Flash, and GLM-5.3 for Abliterated Large v2. Silk Compute serves abliterated versions of both as DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 Uncensored and GLM-5.3 Uncensored, plus GLM-5.3 Flash Uncensored, which has our lowest input price.

What a coding agent pays

Coding agents resend their context every turn, so most of their input is billed at the cached rate. Assume 97% cached input, 2% uncached input and 1% output, the mix our pricing page uses. Then DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 costs about $0.08 per 1M tokens on Silk Compute, and about $0.14 on Abliterated Large Flash.

Plans that cover more than they cost

At every price both sell, our plans include more usage, even counting its plan discounts of 2.5% to 10%: $25 against about $21, $70 against about $53, and $320 against about $222. On DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017, every rate is also lower, even after its plan discounts. We also have a $10 plan with $12 of usage, for chatting and light agent use.

Pay with crypto

You can pay for credits or a plan in Monero, Bitcoin, Ether, USDT or USDC, as well as by card. abliteration.ai's pricing page and FAQ list no crypto option.

How to switch from abliteration.ai

Both APIs speak OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses and Anthropic Messages, so your requests keep the same format. Change the base URL to https://api.silkcompute.com and use a Silk Compute API key. Then abliterated-model-large-flash becomes deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017-uncensored, and abliterated-model-large-v2 becomes glm-5.3-uncensored. The quickstart has the full steps, and our Claude Code setup is one settings file.
