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.
Both of these models will change. Get the price, version and retirement notices for the pair, each with its source. Follow model changes
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 has the higher public score estimate, 63.48 versus 55.63, but the 90% score intervals overlap. Treat that as a lead, not a settled winner. 17 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
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 leads on the public coding lane, 50.3 to 40.3, with Supported evidence for both models, although the 90% intervals overlap.
Tool use, computer use, and multi-step task completion
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 leads on the public agentic lane, 55 to 35.6, with Supported evidence for both models and non-overlapping 90% intervals.

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.
Like-for-like · BenchAlign v5.7
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 leads the like-for-like coding row, although the 90% intervals overlap.
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.
1 category rests 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 1.6Each 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 estimate, 63.48 versus 55.63, but the 90% score intervals overlap. The higher estimate is not a decisive winner because the uncertainty ranges overlap.
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 leads the public coding lane, 50.3 to 40.3, with Supported evidence for both models, although the 90% intervals overlap.
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 leads the public agentic tasks lane, 55 to 35.6, with Supported evidence for both models and non-overlapping 90% intervals.
For the stated presets, chat costs $0.0033 on DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 and $0.0013 on Inkling-Small; repository review costs $0.07788 and $0.03332; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.0748 and $0.0492. Costs use the listed standard API rates.
Both models list the same context window, 1M.
