DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Pro
Analysis Summary
DeepSeek V4 Pro is a DeepSeek model released in April 2026, with a 1,048,576-token context window, tool use, and function calling. Its coding index is 68.8, while its agentic index is 41.3. The supplied results also show strong instruction following, long-context performance, and task success on the tau benchmark, making it a capable choice for multi-step work over large inputs.
For agencies, the combination suits software engineering assistance, codebase and document analysis, and tool-driven workflows where following instructions and retaining context matter. The provided modality is text only, so image-based work is not established. Pricing is $0.9464 per million input tokens and $1.8928 per million output tokens, which is a meaningful trade-off for high-volume use. Adopt it for complex jobs where coding, context, or tool execution can justify the spend, and route routine traffic to a cheaper model.
