DeepSeek V4 Flash

DeepSeek V4 Flash is a lightweight, efficiency-focused Mixture-of-Experts model from DeepSeek, with 284B total parameters and 13B activated per token. It supports a 1M-token context window and configurable reasoning modes (standard, high, and max thinking effort). Designed as the fast and economical option in the V4 family, Flash delivers reasoning capabilities that closely approach the larger V4 Pro, and performs on par with it on simpler agentic tasks. In its max reasoning mode, it achieves comparable reasoning scores to Pro when given a larger thinking budget. At $0.14/M input and $0.28/M output tokens, it's one of the cheapest frontier-tier models available — well suited for high-throughput workloads like coding assistants, chat systems, and agent pipelines where latency and cost matter most.

DeepSeek V4 Pro

DeepSeek V4 Pro is a 1.6T-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model from DeepSeek with 49B parameters activated per token, supporting a 1M-token context window. It is positioned as the strongest open-weight model currently available. V4 Pro leads all open-source models in math, coding, and STEM reasoning. On LiveCodeBench it scores 93.5, ahead of Gemini 3.1 Pro (91.7) and Claude Opus 4.6 (88.8). Its Codeforces rating of 3206 also tops GPT-5.4 (3168). On agentic tool-use benchmarks like MCPAtlas, it reaches near-parity with Opus 4.6. DeepSeek acknowledges it trails GPT-5.4 and Gemini 3.1 Pro overall by roughly 3–6 months of frontier development. Priced at $1.74/M input and $3.48/M output — a fraction of comparable closed-source models — it's a strong pick for complex reasoning, agentic coding, and knowledge-intensive tasks.

DeepSeek V3.2

DeepSeek V3.2 is the December 2025 flagship model featuring DeepSeek Sparse Attention for efficiency and massive reinforcement learning post-training, achieving GPT-5-level performance. It's the first DeepSeek model to integrate thinking directly into tool-use and excels at agentic AI tasks.
