Customization does not establish customer-accessible fine-tuning or a new model checkpoint.

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

API model ID
model_type: latency_optimized | quality_optimized | prefer_quality_optimized
Access
Paid Growth/Enterprise managed text translation. Authenticate with Authorization: DeepL-Auth-Key. Selector values are routing preferences, not model IDs.
Regions
Provider-managed; contractual residency options, no universal region pin
API endpoint URL

Maximum request body
128 KiBSource for Maximum request body (opens in a new tab)

Entire text request including optional context; this is a byte limit, not a token or character window. Header limit: 16 KiB.

Model routing
Default latency_optimized; quality_optimized and legacy prefer_quality_optimized are equivalent quality preferences; model_type_used reports the chosen modeSource for Model routing (opens in a new tab)
Customization options
Up to 5 glossaries with explicit source language; one style list; up to 10 custom instructions of 300 characters each in supported languagesSource for Customization options (opens in a new tab)
Adaptive translation
Opt-in alpha: up to 10 source/target examples, each side at most 300 characters. English paired with German, Spanish, French or Italian. JSON requests only.Source for Adaptive translation (opens in a new tab)

Examples are resubmitted per request and not stored. Best-effort adaptation may have no visible effect; this is not a fine-tuning API.

Translation memory

No discounted prompt-cache rate inferred from translation-memory reuse.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

DeepL terms identify proprietary models and restrict copying or reverse engineering of the service. This is a documented proprietary generation or explicitly identified managed/research family, not a claim that every hosted partner component is a DeepL checkpoint. Public model weights are not provided by the cited release or API documentation.
