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.

What this evidence state means
- Definition
- The claim was previously checked, but its review window expired or a material change may have invalidated it.
- Required provenance
- The prior evidence and check date are retained, together with the expiry or change signal that triggered recheck.
- Owner
- Kingy freshness queue owner and assigned editorial reviewer
- Freshness rule
- This is already outside its freshness rule. It must not be presented as current until reviewed against current evidence.
- Disputes and corrections
- Use “Suggest a correction” on the record. Kingy editorial reviews the cited evidence, records material corrections, and changes or removes the state when it is not supported.

API pricing notes
Pricing rechecked September 21, 2026. Peak hours: 01:00–04:00 and 06:00–10:00 UTC, Monday–Friday, excluding Chinese public holidays. All other hours, including weekends and those holidays, are off-peak. The current pricing table lists V4 Pro separately; the Anthropic-compatible API guide also bills its claude-opus mapping at V4 Pro prices. The September 10 announcement instead said Pro requests would route to V4.1-Flash from September 14. Kingy uses the current pricing table for this dated price observation and retains that source conflict. Actual request routing and account billing were not tested. No paid API call was made. Confirm the returned model and charged usage before relying on a production budget. Earlier profile notes, retained from July 28 and not rechecked in this pricing review: Record returned model, system_fingerprint and usage. Thinking is the default. Publication requires clear AI-output disclosure; DeepSeek privacy materials describe processing and storage in the People's Republic of China.
License notes
Review the official provider terms and model documentation before relying on license or redistribution assumptions.
