DeepSeek V4-Pro GA: the 0813 checkpoint on the same API id
DeepSeek moved V4-Pro to general availability on 2026-08-13. The API id stayed `deepseek-v4-pro`; hosted billing is peak/off-peak after 2026-08-16.
What changed
- GA checkpoint is dated 2026-08-13; the April 2026 preview used the same API id.
- After 2026-08-16 16:00 UTC there is no single standard-tier list rate.
- Artificial Analysis evaluates the 0813 (max) checkpoint separately from the April preview.
Best fit
- Harder reasoning on a budget
- Open-weight deployments
- Agentic coding when Flash is not enough
What to be careful about
- Pin the checkpoint date on any score you cite.
- Peak hours are 01:00–04:00 and 06:00–10:00 UTC.
