DeepSeekMath V2 vs Seed-2.0-Mini

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.

DeepSeekMath V2 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 66 to 53. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

DeepSeekMath V2's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 47.3 against 24.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 45 to 22. Seed-2.0-Mini does hit back in multimodal & grounded, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

DeepSeekMath V2 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Seed-2.0-Mini is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use. Seed-2.0-Mini gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 128K for DeepSeekMath V2.

Quick Verdict

Pick DeepSeekMath V2 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Seed-2.0-Mini only becomes the better choice if multimodal & grounded is the priority or you need the larger 256K context window.
