04 — Questions

Which should you choose?

Which is better: DeepSeek V4 Pro or DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813?

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 is the better all-round choice, scoring 50/100 against DeepSeek V4 Pro (45). It leads on price. The score weighs price 50%, inputs & features 30%, context window 20%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.

Which is cheaper, DeepSeek V4 Pro or DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813?

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 is cheaper at $0.66 input / $1.98 output per million tokens (official DeepSeek API price). DeepSeek V4 Pro costs $1.32 input / $3.00 output per million tokens (median across 49 API providers). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $0.99 per million tokens for DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 versus $1.74 for DeepSeek V4 Pro (1.8× as much).

Which scores higher on benchmarks?

There is no independent benchmark that covers both models yet. DeepSeek V4 Pro has not been scored yet and DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 has an ECI of 155.4.

Which is better for coding?

There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for DeepSeek V4 Pro and DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. Test both on a sample of your own tasks. Both support tool calling for agent workflows.

Which has the bigger context window?

DeepSeek V4 Pro and DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 share the same 1,000,000-token context window. Maximum output per response: DeepSeek V4 Pro up to 384,000, DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 up to 384,000 tokens.

Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?

DeepSeek V4 Pro accepts text; DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 accepts text. They handle the same number of input types.

Are any of these open source?

Yes, both publish their weights (MIT), so you can self-host them.

Which is newer?

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 is the newest, released Aug 12, 2026. DeepSeek V4 Pro came out Apr 24, 2026. Knowledge cutoff: DeepSeek V4 Pro May 2025.

How do you decide the winner?

Each model gets a 0–100 score on capability (50%, independent benchmark results); price (25%, blended price per million tokens (3 input : 1 output), log scale); inputs & features (15%, image, PDF, audio and video input, tool calling, structured output and reasoning); context window (10%, maximum tokens per request, log scale). Dimensions missing for any model are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so every model is judged on the same evidence. Specs and prices come from public model listings and the labs’ own API pages; capability scores come from independent benchmark runs. Data updated Oct 4, 2026.
