AI Model Profile
DeepSeek V4 Pro
DeepSeek V4 Pro has a current hosted API route and a separate official MIT-licensed DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 checkpoint. Current hosted documentation lists text input/output, thinking and non-thinking modes, tool calls, JSON output, a 1,048,576-token context window and a 393,216-token maximum output. The local checkpoint card separately recommends up to 384K output tokens for high/max reasoning; that recommendation is distinct from the hosted API maximum.

Benchmark Caveat
Provider documentation and provider-published capability notes are directional, not universal rankings. Real results depend on prompts, tools, latency targets, pricing tier, safety filters, context length, and workload mix.
Best for
Candidate for DeepSeek API workflows that need the Pro variant and long-context reasoning or coding tests.
Skip if
Skip if your team needs independently benchmarked performance claims or contractual guarantees not present in the official provider documentation.
Strengths
Official docs list a long context window, tool calls, JSON output, and current V4 Pro access.
Weaknesses
This profile does not independently validate benchmark quality, reliability, or latency.
Agent suitability
Candidate for tool-using agents based on official API feature support.
Kingy AI take
Use this profile as a source-backed reference point, not a ranking. Re-check official provider docs before making production or budget decisions.
