DeepSeek V4 Pro 0424

Reasoning effort

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0424 is a DeepSeek open-weights reasoning model, released 24 Apr 2026. Its best configuration (max reasoning effort) ranks #125 of 784 on the BenchLeader Index at 59.7 ±4.8, in the upper half. The ± is the point: 234 other configurations score within that range, so they and this one cannot be told apart on quality alone — price and speed are what separate them. It scores highest in instruction following (75) and lowest in knowledge (57). At $0.548 per million tokens blended it is mid-priced. Output speed of 92 tokens per second puts it faster than most, with a first answer in 49.0 s. It has been measured at 3 reasoning-effort settings; this summary describes the best-scoring one, and the tabs above switch between them. Last measured 24 Apr 2026.stale: no new result in six months

Reasoning-effort configurations

The same model behaves differently depending on how much it is allowed to think. Each row is one setting, scored only on the benchmarks that were run at that setting. “Not stated” collects results from publishers that did not say which setting they used; for a reasoning model that is usually its thinking mode, but we do not assume it. Pick a setting here or at the top of the page to see its price, speed and category scores.

What a task costs

Estimates from list price, output speed and time to first answer for the best configuration. “With caching” assumes three-quarters of the input is served from the prompt cache. Reasoning tokens are not modelled.
