DeepSeek-V4-Pro is a current official DeepSeek API route for the V4 family, with a 1M context window, 384K maximum output, and official peak/off-peak pricing that separates cache-hit and cache-miss input tokens.
What this model is
DeepSeek-V4-Pro is the current official DeepSeek API model ID from the V4 lineup. The exact API model ID is deepseek-v4-pro, currently serving DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 from https://api.deepseek.com for OpenAI-format calls and https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic for Anthropic-format calls.
DeepSeek’s V4 Preview announcement and model card source the open-weight architecture and parameter claims. DeepSeek’s API docs source the hosted API ID, pricing, context, and max-output claims. The current pricing table does not split prices by thinking mode, so this page does not invent a separate thinking price.
Pricing notes
DeepSeek lists prices per 1M tokens and now uses peak and off-peak rates. Off-peak rates are half of peak. Peak hours are 01:00–04:00 and 06:00–10:00 UTC, Monday through Friday. The new prices took effect at 16:00 UTC on August 16, 2026.
For DeepSeek-V4-Pro, the official table lists:
- Cache-hit input: $0.022 off-peak / $0.044 peak
- Cache-miss input: $0.66 off-peak / $1.32 peak
- Output: $1.98 off-peak / $3.96 peak
The calculator on this page uses the peak cache-miss input price and peak output price as the default comparison, because that is the safer budget when you do not yet know whether prompts will hit cache or land in off-peak hours.
Benchmarks and specs
DeepSeek’s official pricing table lists DeepSeek-V4-Pro with a 1M context length and a maximum output of 384K tokens. The same table lists JSON Output, Tool Calls, Chat Prefix Completion, and FIM Completion in non-thinking mode.
The V4 preview release states that DeepSeek-V4-Pro has 1.6T total parameters and 49B activated parameters, and that the V4 series uses open weights under the MIT license. This page does not list benchmark scores until a named evaluation source and test setup are verified.
Best fit
DeepSeek-V4-Pro is best for builders who want the stronger current DeepSeek API route, especially where long context, tool use, and reasoning mode matter more than the lowest possible token price.
It is also a useful comparison point against V4-Flash: both share the same official context headline, but V4-Pro is the larger route and has higher official token prices.
