DeepSeek V4-Pro scores 3,206 on Codeforces, ahead of GPT-5.4 and Gemini, while costing $3.48 per million tokens versus Claude’s $25, making it one of the most price-competitive frontier-class AI releases in 2026.
DeepSeek says both models are more efficient and performant than DeepSeek V3.2 due to architectural improvements, and have almost “closed the gap” with current leading models, both open and closed, on reasoning benchmarks.
