https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing/ Competitive with opus 4.8 but weaker than sol or fable. About 20x cheaper.

I find it interesting how much adoption seems to be influenced by momentum. Some of these Chinese models are surprisingly capable, but developers often default to the models that are already established as the “industry standard

Currently burning money quickly on official deepseek api. They are also increasing pricing starting today. V4 Flash 0731 still feels like the most outstanding model of the past few months and probably to come.

What I care about is whether the model is capable of the tasks I give it at the lowest cost. Right now I'm using Kimi-K3/GLM-5.2/Minimax. Sonnet is great but I burn through the tokens too fast. Opus 5 set to max is amazing and more intelligent than all of us. .998 of the time I don't need that kind of intelligence. I just need the job done.

V4 Pro has vision correct?

I've been using the last Deepseek Flash update for a week and I'm amazed. It was a capable model for easy tasks but now it looks like it can do some heavy development for peanuts. I can't wait to try this new one.

Worse than Luna but more expensive than Luna. Sticking with Luna without sending my data to Deepseek (China)

Still behind Kimi-K3 in almost half of the benchmarks

Tested both DS v4 pro 0813 and Grok 4.6 (all from openrouter) on Codex cli. Worked on a same new feature development on my project. Deepseek 4 pro: Worked for 12m 02s - cost $0.12 - has bug. Grok 4.6: Worked for 3m 18s - cost $ 1.41 - no bug.

It appears that the only available endpoint (as of this writing) requires enabling "Allow paid endpoints that train on request data" in the OpenRouter privacy settings. I hope additional paid providers will become available that don't require training on data.

Even though cost-per-token is low, Deepseek v4 tends to burn an immense number of tokens to accomplish tasks.

Just tested through openrouter.. gave exactly same task.. the task was to scan existing repo, and generate a single docker-compose file to deploy behind a caddy server, where certain port ranges are already used, the service demands widlcard certificates to be provisioned from outside, and postgre needs to be built-in one... Tested this model, and gpt-5.6-terra-high. Results: this one had few issues. terra: none. These results are consistent with my past observations with the latest flash version as well. What benchmarks say, vs what I've been observing are different. They are good till the project is simple... not anymore.

Before DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813's price goes up, I expect a surge of frantic traffic — hope the servers can hold up.

Nice bicycle chain, the little basket with a fish didn't show up in the right place: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer#url=ht...

This model is not very good at coding, but it is quite good at research, evaluation and action, I don't write code, but it really goes head-to-head with the most expensive models in searches such as stock market and forex

nimsarajay

I'm Satisfied with this model (in opencode)

Palmik

Why does this link to OpenRouter, which has no useful information on its own? Linking to the official API or the benchmarks would make more sense: - https://api-docs.deepseek.com/ - https://x.com/ChrisGPT/status/2087572834650407024/photo/1 (officially posted on WeChat, this is just one of many reposts)

Again, I will wait until there's a provider that doesn't train on prompts before I will benchmark.
