DeepSeek-V4-Pro: Advanced Open-Weight Model for Reasoning and Agents
Released on April 24, 2026, DeepSeek-V4-Pro is the flagship model in DeepSeek’s V4 preview series. It is a Mixture-of-Experts language model with 1.6T total parameters and 49B activated parameters per token, designed for advanced reasoning, coding, agentic workflows, and long-context tasks.
DeepSeek-V4-Pro is intended for developers, researchers, technical teams, and agent builders who need strong reasoning and coding performance with a very large context window. Compared with DeepSeek-V4-Flash, it is the more capable model in the V4 family, while Flash is positioned as the faster and more economical option for high-volume use.
DeepSeek-V4-Pro: Key Specs
Below are DeepSeek-V4-Pro's main specs and how they translate into real-world behavior.
- Context Window - 1,000,000 tokens: This very large context window lets DeepSeek-V4-Pro work with long codebases, extensive documents, large research sets, and multi-step agent traces, which is valuable for tasks that require broad context in a single request.
- Maximum Output Length - 384,000 tokens: This high output ceiling allows the model to generate long structured responses, extended reports, detailed code plans, and large analytical outputs without being limited to short completions.
- Speed and Efficiency - Not officially disclosed: DeepSeek positions V4-Pro for stronger reasoning and agentic capability rather than maximum response speed, making it better suited for complex work where quality matters more than raw latency.
- Cost Efficiency - $0.435 input and $0.87 output per 1M tokens: This pricing makes DeepSeek-V4-Pro cost efficient for a flagship long-context model, especially for coding, reasoning, and agent workflows that would be expensive on many closed frontier APIs.
- Reasoning Capability - Thinking and non-thinking modes: DeepSeek-V4-Pro supports both non-thinking and thinking modes, giving users a practical way to choose between faster intuitive answers and more deliberate reasoning for difficult tasks.
- Model Architecture - 1.6T-parameter MoE with 49B activated parameters: The Mixture-of-Experts design activates only part of the full model per token, helping the model deliver strong capability while controlling inference cost and compute usage.

Best Cases to Use DeepSeek-V4-Pro
DeepSeek-V4-Pro is best suited for complex workflows that require strong reasoning, long context, coding ability, and agentic execution at a cost-efficient API price.
- For agentic coding: Use DeepSeek-V4-Pro to inspect large codebases, plan changes, generate implementation steps, and support long-running coding agents with broad project context.
- For long-context analysis: Process large documents, research collections, technical manuals, logs, and structured records inside a single 1M-token context window.
- For reasoning-heavy workflows: Apply thinking mode to mathematical, scientific, technical, and multi-step business problems that need more deliberate analysis.
- For tool-based automation: Build agents that use JSON output, tool calls, prefix completion, and FIM completion for structured software and workflow automation.
- For open-weight deployment: Use the model weights through open-source distribution channels when teams need more control over deployment, testing, and infrastructure choices.
- For cost-sensitive frontier work: Run advanced coding, research, and analysis workloads where strong capability and low per-token pricing are both important.
