DeepSeek V4 Pro is the open-weight-adjacent DeepSeek flagship in this catalog: high reasoning density per dollar, not a closed Opus clone. The DeepSeek vs Claude hub remaps to the current top DeepSeek Elo row versus the current top Anthropic Elo row. Today that is usually V4 Pro versus Opus 5. Read SWE-bench and output $/1M before you call it a steal.
0813 aliases are attached on purpose
Public listings also say V4-Pro-0813. Those strings are aliases on this slug so ingest does not create a second preview. If GA pricing moved on Aug 16, the next OpenRouter pull should overwrite the list cells — we will not hand-type an unofficial blog number.
Empirical Evaluation & Architectural Analysis
Empirical evaluations recorded across the CompareLLM Leaderboard highlight how parameter scaling and inference optimization impact production throughput and cost-per-token economics. Reference the interactive scorecard above for verified snapshots or inspect the dedicated deepseek-v4-pro dossier.
Self-host is a license question
isOpenSource on CompareLLM is a catalog flag, not a lawyer. Read the actual DeepSeek license before you ship weights.
