Speed

Output tokens per second · Higher is better

Latency

Seconds to first answer token received · Lower is better

Price

USD per 1M tokens (blended) · Lower is better

Pricing

Pricing: Cache Hit, Input, and Output: DeepSeek V4 Pro 0424 (Non-reasoning)

Price (USD per M Tokens) · Lower is better · 10,000 input tokens

Price per token for cached prompts (previously processed), typically offering a significant discount compared to regular input price, represented as USD per million tokens. The values shown here are the cache hit price; cache write and cache storage are billed separately and vary by provider — see "Cache pricing by provider" for detail.

Cost per Intelligence Index Task: DeepSeek V4 Pro 0424 (Non-reasoning)

Weighted average cost (USD) per Intelligence Index task · Segmented by token type · Lower is better

No data available

Weighted average cost per Intelligence Index task. Each evaluation’s cost is calculated from input, cache hit, cache write, reasoning, and answer token prices, divided by task count, and weighted by its Intelligence Index weight.

Output Speed vs. Price: DeepSeek V4 Pro 0424 (Non-reasoning)

Blended at 7:2:1 (cache-input-output) · Output speed: output tokens per second · USD per 1M tokens (blended)

Most attractive quadrant

Pareto line

Tokens per second received while the model is generating tokens (ie. after first chunk has been received from the API for models which support streaming).

Speed

Measured by Output Speed (tokens per second)

Output Speed: DeepSeek V4 Pro 0424 (Non-reasoning)

Output speed: output tokens per second · 10,000 input tokens

Tokens per second received while the model is generating tokens (ie. after first chunk has been received from the API for models which support streaming).

Figures represent performance of the model's first-party API or the median across providers where a first-party API is not available.

Time per Intelligence Index Task: DeepSeek V4 Pro 0424 (Non-reasoning)

Weighted average decode time (minutes) per Intelligence Index task · Excludes TTFT and overhead time · Lower is better

No data available

The weighted average time (seconds) per Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index task. This is calculated by dividing output tokens per task by output speed, weighted by the relative weights of each benchmark in the Intelligence Index.

Cost per Task vs. Time per Task: DeepSeek V4 Pro 0424 (Non-reasoning)

Weighted average cost (USD) per Intelligence Index task · Weighted average decode time (minutes) per Intelligence Index task

Most attractive quadrant

No data available

Latency

Measured by Time (seconds) to First Token

Time to First Token: DeepSeek V4 Pro 0424 (Non-reasoning)

Seconds to first token received · Lower is better · 10,000 input tokens

Time to first token received, in seconds, after API request sent. For reasoning models which share reasoning tokens, this will be the first reasoning token. For models which do not support streaming, this represents time to receive the completion.

Figures represent median (P50) measurement over the past 72 hours to reflect sustained changes in performance.

Cache Behaviour

Cache Hit Rate: DeepSeek V4 Pro 0424 (Non-reasoning)

Share of cacheable input tokens served from cache · Median of the last four weeks, updated Oct 26, 2026

The share of cacheable input tokens served from the provider's prompt cache, measured during multi-turn agentic coding sessions. We regularly measure each endpoint and report a representative rate based on recent measurements. Higher values mean more of the input is billed at the cheaper cache-hit price, where the provider offers one, which lowers the effective cost of agentic workloads. For further details, see our methodology page.

End-to-End Response Time

Seconds to output 500 tokens, calculated based on time to first token, 'thinking' time for reasoning models, and output speed

End-to-End Response Time: DeepSeek V4 Pro 0424 (Non-reasoning)

Seconds to output 500 tokens, including reasoning model 'thinking' time · Lower is better · 10,000 input tokens

Seconds to receive a 500 token response. Key components:

Input time: Time to receive the first response token
Thinking time (only for reasoning models): Time reasoning models spend outputting tokens to reason prior to providing an answer. Amount of tokens based on the average reasoning tokens across a diverse set of 60 prompts (methodology details).
Answer time: Time to generate 500 output tokens, based on output speed
