GPT-4.1 mini has the lower estimated token cost for this stated workload. Costs use the listed standard API rates.
Updated September 27, 2026. Rank says DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 is ahead. Price, access, and your workload can each overturn that. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty.

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 has the higher public score, 63.48 versus 29.13, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap. 2 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or 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.

Code generation, repair, and software-engineering tasks
Not enough matched evidence
GPT-4.1 mini is scored on Estimated evidence for coding, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like.
Tool use, computer use, and multi-step task completion
Not enough matched evidence
GPT-4.1 mini is not ranked on the public lane for agentic, so no winner is named for agentic.

Choose a job from the LLM Selector's task catalog to see the category row it rests on, under the same basis rules as the table below. A directional row stays directional; choosing a job never creates a winner.
The same task catalog as the LLM Selector. Each job names the evidence surface it rests on; nothing here adds a new score.
Directional only · BenchAlign v5.7
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 scores higher, but at least one score rests on Estimated evidence or a different benchmark set. Directional only, no winner.
Coding scores combine specific tasks and setups. Match the editor, harness, and effort to your workflow.
Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.
2 categories rest on Estimated evidence or different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.
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.

Normalized gap 57.0GPQAKnowledge
Normalized gap 25.9Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.7 lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.7) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the provisional lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.
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.

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 has the higher public score, 63.48 versus 29.13, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap. That is the clearest overall quality signal in the current public data.
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 scores higher for coding on the public lane, 50.3 to 20. GPT-4.1 mini is scored on Estimated evidence for coding, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like. BenchLM does not name a winner for coding from a directional reading; read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.
GPT-4.1 mini is not ranked on the public lane for agentic tasks, so no winner is named for agentic tasks.
For the stated presets, chat costs $0.0033 on DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 and $0.0012 on GPT-4.1 mini; repository review costs $0.07788 and $0.0248; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.0748 and $0.104. GPT-4.1 mini has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.
Both models list the same context window, 1M.
