What is DeepSeek V4-Pro?

DeepSeek V4-Pro is the company’s open flagship: a 1.6-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts
activating around 49B parameters per token, with a 1M-token context window and MIT-licensed
weights. The API speaks both OpenAI and Anthropic request formats, which makes it unusually
easy to drop into an existing codebase — often a base-URL and key change rather than a
rewrite.

Pricing is $0.435 in / $0.87 out per million tokens, which blends to roughly $0.52 — around
a twentieth of frontier pricing for a model that holds its own on general reasoning. That
ratio, not the parameter count, is why V4-Pro matters. The dual-format API compatibility
compounds it: the switching cost that normally protects incumbent providers largely
disappears, so V4-Pro is a genuine option for teams that would otherwise never evaluate a
Chinese lab’s model. Self-hosting is a data-centre exercise — roughly 800 GB of VRAM at
4-bit, so eight H100 80GBs or more — meaning the open licence here buys auditability and
provider portability rather than a realistic on-premises deployment for most organisations.

Hospedar localmente ou pagar pela API?

DeepSeek V4-Pro is open-weight, so you can run it yourself. It needs ~800 GB of VRAM at 4-bit (Multi-GPU server (e.g. 8× H100 80GB)). Self-hosting only beats the API once your volume is high enough to keep that hardware busy — the calculadora de autohospedagem versus API calcula o ponto de equilíbrio para seu volume de tokens.

Perguntas frequentes

How much does DeepSeek V4-Pro cost per 1M tokens?

DeepSeek V4-Pro costs $0.435 per 1M input tokens and $0.870 per 1M output tokens. At a typical 4:1 input-to-output mix that blends to about $0.522 per 1M tokens.

How much does DeepSeek V4-Pro cost per month?

A small-team workload of 20M input and 5M output tokens a month costs about $13 on DeepSeek V4-Pro. A side project (1M in / 0.25M out) costs roughly $0.65.

What is a cheaper alternative to DeepSeek V4-Pro?

DeepSeek V4-Flash is the strongest cheaper option in our database at $0.168 per 1M blended — about 68% less than DeepSeek V4-Pro. It is also open-weight, so self-hosting is an option.

Can I run DeepSeek V4-Pro locally?

Yes. DeepSeek V4-Pro is open-weight and needs about ~800 GB of VRAM at 4-bit quantisation (Multi-GPU server (e.g. 8× H100 80GB)).

Why does DeepSeek V4-Pro charge more for output than input?

Output tokens are generated one at a time and cannot be batched the way a prompt can, so they cost the provider more to serve. DeepSeek V4-Pro charges 2× more for output, which is why prompt-heavy workloads are far cheaper to run than generation-heavy ones.
