DeepSeek V4 Pro · API · Max effort

The open ceiling — near-frontier coding without the closed-model tax.

DeepSeek V4 Pro for strong agentic coding and reasoning when open weights or API cost matter more than the last closed-frontier points.

Peer public (main number / bar) ranks this Build inside the current scored peer set (≈40–95). Raw is the absolute evidence-fusion aggregate before min-max. A low peer score can still be a strong absolute model — see methodology.

Practical verdict

When to choose

Best at
  • Cost-efficient repository coding (named harnesses)
  • Math/STEM reasoning at open-weight prices
  • Self-host or API flexibility (MIT weights)
Avoid for
  • Vision / multimodal workflows
  • Absolute max SWE ceiling (Sol still leads independent boards)
  • Teams that need only US closed-model compliance narratives
Choose this when

You want open-frontier capability at roughly an order of magnitude below Sol/Opus list prices.

Traits & Quirks

Signature strengths and honest flaws

No structured traits or flaws catalogued for this Build yet. Traits are behavioural patterns (beyond raw scores) — added as evidence and field observation accumulate. See Best at / Avoid for above in the meantime.

Engine pass meth_v0_1_1 (peer min-max vs scored launch peer set). Codex overall 49.8 (B). Attribute public scores map raw aggregates into a 40–95 band within the peer set (methodology min-max). INT uses hierarchical fusion (GPQA primary / HLE secondary / capped bleed).
