This model is deprecated. We only continue performance benchmarking for the default 10k input token workload. Results for other workloads are historical and no longer updated.
DeepSeek has launched a newer model, DeepSeek V4 Pro. We suggest considering it instead.
For more information, see comparison of DeepSeek V4 Pro to other models and API provider benchmarks for DeepSeek V4 Pro.
