Start free briefUpdated August 13, 2026. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty. They are not guarantees for a specific workload.
Decision reading
At least one model is not scored in the current public ranking lane, so the page does not name an overall quality winner.
33 results are shared. Category rows based on different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.
Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.
Each row states whether both averages use the same weighted benchmark set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner in this template.

Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.
1K fresh input + 500 output tokens
DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 has the lower modeled cost
Costs use the listed standard API rates.
50K fresh input + 3K output tokens

Sourced differences are shown directly. Missing facts stay explicit instead of being inferred from a model name or family.
Maximum documented context; output-token limits may be lower.

At least one model is not scored in the current public ranking lane, so the page does not name an overall quality winner. The page therefore keeps the decision tied to the specific documented workload.
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 leads the like-for-like coding comparison across 2 shared weighted benchmark rows.
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 leads the like-for-like agentic tasks comparison across 2 shared weighted benchmark rows.
For the stated presets, chat costs $0.00028 on DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 and $0.00087 on DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813; repository review costs $0.00784 and $0.02436; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.00616 and $0.01812. Costs use the listed standard API rates.
Both models list the same context window, 1M.
