DeepSeek officially released its V4-Pro model on Thursday, making it available across the company's app, web interface, and API after the model had been in preview since April.
The company said the general availability version, designated DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813, focuses on agent capabilities — tasks where AI systems use tools, execute code, and complete multi-step workflows without human intervention. Benchmark results released by DeepSeek showed the model scored 87.9 on Terminal Bench 2.1, 62.7 on DeepSWE, and 61.5 on NL2Repo, among other agent-focused tests. According to the Global Times , the model is capable of handling a context window of up to 1 million tokens and can produce outputs as long as 384,000 tokens, with the option to run in either thinking or non-thinking mode.
DeepSeek also announced that the V4-Pro API has been updated to work with the OpenAI Responses API format out of the box and includes built-in support for Codex integration. Thinking effort levels for both V4-Pro and V4-Flash have been expanded to three settings — low, high, and max — allowing developers to match computation intensity to task complexity, the company said.
A price increase for the V4 model family is set to take effect at 16:00 UTC on August 16. DeepSeek is also introducing peak and off-peak billing, with off-peak rates at half the peak-hour price, the company said.
The launch comes after DeepSeek's cheaper V4-Flash model performed above expectations in independent tests conducted after its release earlier this month, in some cases outpacing the April preview of V4-Pro — an outcome that drew attention given that Pro is positioned as the company's more capable product, according to Reuters .
DeepSeek announced the price increases alongside the launch, with V4-Pro output tokens rising to $3.96 per million at peak hours from the current flat rate of $0.87 per million. Even at the new peak rates, DeepSeek's prices remain below those of some competitors — Anthropic's Fable 5 charges $50 per million output tokens. DeepSeek had offered a 75% promotional discount on V4-Pro through May 5, making Thursday's pricing shift a notable reversal of the company's earlier strategy.
DeepSeek's R1 model went viral in early 2025 and briefly gave the company a commanding position in the AI race, but competitors including Moonshot AI, Alibaba, and ByteDance have since closed the gap with their own releases. The company secured roughly $7.4 billion in its first round of outside capital in June, and Reuters reported in July that DeepSeek was in discussions for an additional round that would value it at around $74 billion.
