DeepSeek V4 Pro

DeepSeek · Lanzado jul 2026

Recomendado

Strong price-performance on open MIT weights; the 2x peak window is 01:00-04:00 and 06:00-10:00 UTC on weekdays only, so weekends bill entirely off-peak.

¿Es adecuada para ti?

Bueno para

  • Cost-sensitive coding and autonomous agent workloads: far cheaper per session than GPT-5.5 or Opus 4.8 at competitive quality, even after the August 2026 price rise
  • Self-hosted enterprise and regulated-industry deployment: MIT license means proprietary code never leaves your infrastructure
  • Competitive programming and code-generation benchmarks: 93.5% LiveCodeBench, 3206 Codeforces Elo
  • Weekend and overnight batch work: peak billing applies only Monday to Friday, so all weekend hours bill at the off-peak $0.66 / $1.98 rate

No recomendado para

  • Terminal and CLI agent tasks: trails GPT-5.5 (67.9% vs 75.1% on Terminal-Bench 2.0)
  • Workloads requiring Western data-residency guarantees without self-hosting: DeepSeek's API is China-hosted
  • Weekday workloads pinned to peak hours: rates double to $1.32 / $3.96 during 01:00-04:00 and 06:00-10:00 UTC, Monday through Friday only

Historial de veredictos

9 sept 2026
recommended -> recommended — No rating change. Rates re-verified unchanged against the vendor rate card on 9 September 2026. The peak window is Monday to Friday, not daily, so our "seven daily peak hours" summary overstated the premium window by 14 hours a week. The standing summary is corrected; the rating stays recommended.
20 ago 2026
recommended -> recommended (pricing premise corrected, benchmark error fixed) — Flagged for re-review on 2026-08-15 when DeepSeek announced the hike. Vendor pricing confirmed 2026-08-20: off-peak $0.66/$1.98, peak $1.32/$3.96, effective 2026-08-16, replacing the flat $0.435/$0.87. The "3x cheaper than Fable 5 per completed task" claim still holds with margin but was dropped rather than restated, since the Fable 5 rate was not re-verified in this pass. Separately, the old summary claimed 99.2% on SWE-bench Verified, contradicting this entity's own benchmark row of 80.6%; corrected to 80.6%. The unsourced "Claude Code parity on CursorBench 3.2" claim was also removed. Rating held at recommended.

    Rates re-verified UNCHANGED: deepseek-v4-pro (MODEL VERSION DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813) cache-miss input $0.66 off-peak / $1.32 peak, output $1.98 / $3.96, cache hit $0.022 / $0.044; peak window Mon-Fri 01:00-04:00 + 06:00-10:00 UTC. ONE child fix (no scalar change, data_hash unaffected): a for_whom audience still priced the Flash tier at '$0.22/$0.66 off-peak'; since 2026-09-10 the Flash id is deepseek-flash (DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash) at $0.15/$0.60 off-peak. Row corrected. V4-PRO FUTURE IS CONTRADICTED BETWEEN TWO DEEPSEEK PRIMARIES, NOT RESOLVED HERE: (a) rate card footnote (2), verbatim: 'In response to user demand, we have decided to continue providing API services for DeepSeek V4 Pro after September 14, 2026, with the billing method remaining unchanged. We will provide further notice should there be any changes.' The /updates/ changelog entry for 2026-09-10 carries the same continuation sentence. (b) launch post /news/news260910, verbatim: 'We're phasing out V4-Pro.' and 'Starting at 04:00 UTC on Sept 14, 2026, all deepseek-v4-pro requests will route to V4.1-Flash at V4.1-Flash rates. This will continue until V4.1-Pro launches.' The news post carries no correction notice. The 'in response to user demand' wording reads as a later reversal, but no page dates the reversal, so no reroute or continuation claim was written into the entity. Re-check after 2026-09-14 04:00 UTC. No verdict payload staged; summary contains no false fact.

    Rates re-verified UNCHANGED: off-peak $0.66 in / $1.98 out, peak $1.32 / $3.96 per 1M; cache hits $0.022 off-peak / $0.044 peak. Peak window re-confirmed verbatim as 01:00-04:00 and 06:00-10:00 UTC, Monday through Friday, matching the correction this entity already received on 2026-09-07; no further prose change needed and no verdict payload staged (its 2026-09-09 transition already landed). ONE defect fixed: pricing_url was stored without a trailing slash and resolves to 'Your First API Call | DeepSeek API Docs', a quickstart carrying no prices; the rate card is the same path with the slash. Corrected to https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing/ so the citation supports the figures it is attached to. Rating unchanged at recommended. TOOL DEFECT OBSERVED: the sources array passed on model_update was resolved idempotently by URL against an existing Source row, so the supplied label and access_date 2026-09-09 were discarded and the row still reads label 'DeepSeek API Docs - Models & Pricing (V4 Pro: $0.44/$0.87)' with access_date 2026-07-18. That label states a pre-August rate that is no longer live.

    Per-token rates re-verified and UNCHANGED: off-peak $0.66 in / $1.98 out, peak $1.32 / $3.96 per 1M. The peak-window SCOPE differs from what we stored: the vendor page states 'Peak hours are 01:00 - 04:00 and 06:00 - 10:00 UTC, Monday through Friday (all other hours are off-peak).' Our pricing_context and buying guidance omitted the weekday qualifier and the verdict summary described 'seven daily peak hours', overstating the premium window by 14 hours a week (35 not 49). Refreshed pricing_context to '1M tokens. Peak 2x: 01-04+06-10 UTC Mon-Fri', corrected the peak strength to name Monday-Friday and the doubled rates, added a weekend/off-peak best_for row and a matching for_whom audience. The 2026-08-20 pass already removed the false '3x cheaper than Fable 5' multiple, so no false price multiple remains in the summary. Rating unchanged at recommended; verdict summary wording fix staged for the announcing draft 'deepseek-v4-peak-billing-weekdays-only'.
