DeepSeekDeepSeek-V4-Pro
DeepSeek's flagship million-context text model for difficult reasoning, coding, long-running agents, tools, and very large outputs.
Plain-English overview
What DeepSeek-V4-Pro actually is
DeepSeek-V4-Pro is the larger V4 option, designed for tasks where agent reliability and deeper reasoning matter more than the lowest token price. It supports thinking controls, tool calls, structured JSON, a Responses-compatible interface, and a maximum output large enough for substantial code or documents.
DeepSeek publishes separate peak, off-peak, cached, and uncached rates. That pricing can reward scheduled or repetitive workloads, but it makes a single headline token price misleading; estimate the cache-hit ratio, output length, and time-of-day mix for the real application.
Good fit for
- Complex coding and tool-using agents
- Million-token repositories and document sets
- Teams that can benefit from peak/off-peak routing

Estimate your cost
Set your usage. Your estimate updates as you type.
Example: 6,000 input tokens for 10 pages, plus a 500-token summary. Page lengths vary; adjust the numbers below.
One run sends your input to the model once and receives an answer. Tokens are pieces of text: input is what you send, output is the answer you receive.

API and provider access
Where to get DeepSeek-V4-Pro
Availability
Regions and access stage
Generally available in the DeepSeek web app and through OpenAI-, Anthropic-, and Responses-compatible APIs.
DeepSeek's public model pages do not enumerate one global model-specific country or processing-region list; confirm account eligibility and applicable law.
Check live availabilityData and training
The route matters.
DeepSeek documents its Responses API as stateless and says responses and conversations are not stored by that endpoint. This is not a complete account-wide retention or training-use promise; review current platform terms and automatic cache behavior for sensitive data.
This is a concise reading of the cited provider material, not legal advice. A third-party gateway can have different storage, routing, training, and residency terms from the model maker's direct API.

DeepSeek-V4-Pro is the larger V4 option, designed for tasks where agent reliability and deeper reasoning matter more than the lowest token price. It supports thinking controls, tool calls, structured JSON, a Responses-compatible interface, and a maximum output large enough for substantial code or documents.
When was DeepSeek-V4-Pro released?
DeepSeek-V4-Pro was released on August 13, 2026 according to the cited provider materials.
Where can I access DeepSeek-V4-Pro?
Generally available in the DeepSeek web app and through OpenAI-, Anthropic-, and Responses-compatible APIs. The access routes listed in this guide are DeepSeek API and DeepSeek.
How much does DeepSeek-V4-Pro cost?
Peak: $1.32 input · $3.96 output / 1M tokens. Off-peak uncached input and output are $0.66 and $1.98 per million. Cached input is cheaper, and DeepSeek can change the peak schedule and prices.
Where is DeepSeek-V4-Pro available?
Generally available in the DeepSeek web app and through OpenAI-, Anthropic-, and Responses-compatible APIs. DeepSeek's public model pages do not enumerate one global model-specific country or processing-region list; confirm account eligibility and applicable law.
Is my DeepSeek-V4-Pro API data used for training?
DeepSeek documents its Responses API as stateless and says responses and conversations are not stored by that endpoint. This is not a complete account-wide retention or training-use promise; review current platform terms and automatic cache behavior for sensitive data. The policy belongs to the provider route and account terms, so verify it again before production use.
