DeepSeek V4 Pro wins in 7 of 7 criteria analyzed. Check the full table to choose based on your use case.
Data is aggregated from Artificial Analysis (Intelligence Index, Coding Index) and Chatbot Arena/LMArena (ELO). Pricing and specs come from official APIs. Updated weekly.
The Intelligence Index is an aggregate score from Artificial Analysis that combines multiple academic benchmarks (MMLU, GPQA, LiveBench, etc.) into a single rating. The higher the score, the more capable the model is at reasoning tasks.
Yes. DeepSeek V4 Pro costs $0.435/1M input tokens, while DeepSeek V3.2 costs $0.5/1M tokens — 15% more expensive. For high-volume projects, DeepSeek V4 Pro represents significant savings. Total cost also depends on output pricing and your application's usage pattern.
DeepSeek V4 Pro has the larger context window: 1.0M tokens vs 131K tokens. For long document analysis, extensive transcripts or full codebases, the larger context window is a decisive criterion.
