DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 pins the general-availability checkpoint of DeepSeek's V4 Pro weights, ending a four-month preview. It pairs a 1.0M tokens context window with sharply stronger agentic capabilities than the preview build.

Copy link to headingAbout DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 was released August 12, 2026 as the general-availability checkpoint of DeepSeek's V4 Pro, ending a preview period that ran close to four months. DeepSeek describes it as superseding the preview build, with greatly enhanced agentic capabilities and improvements that show up most in production environments.
The architecture is a mixture-of-experts design with 1.6 trillion total parameters and 49 billion active per token, combining two attention variants DeepSeek calls Compressed Sparse Attention and Heavily Compressed Attention. Together they cut per-token inference compute and KV cache substantially at the million-token setting, which is what makes a context window of 1.0M tokens practical rather than theoretical.
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 keeps thinking and non-thinking modes, tool calls, and up to 1.0M tokens per response. On vendor-reported results it scores 87.9 on Terminal Bench 2.1, 74.1 on Toolathlon-Verified, and 80.6 on SWE-bench Verified. Independent evaluators have not replicated those figures for this build.
You can integrate DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 through AI SDK, Chat Completions API, Responses API, Messages API, or other API formats, from TypeScript or Python.

- Configuration: Pricing on this model changed shortly after release, moving to a schedule with peak and off-peak rates where off-peak bills at half the peak rate. Cache-hit input saw the largest increase. Check the pricing panel on this page before sizing a workload, and if your traffic is shiftable, note that the same job can cost meaningfully less outside peak hours.
- Configuration: Independent reception has been more mixed than the vendor benchmarks suggest. DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 scores 53 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, level with GLM-5.2 and behind the mid-tier of the GPT-5.6 series, and reviewers have been cooler on general capability than on its niche strengths. The headline evaluation numbers are vendor-reported and have not been independently replicated for this build, so benchmark it on your own tasks.
- Configuration: The dated slug pins a specific checkpoint. Use it when you need reproducible behaviour, and use the undated
deepseek-v4-prowhen you would rather follow the series forward. - Zero Data Retention: Zero Data Retention is available for this model. It is offered on a per-provider and model basis. See the documentation for details.
- Authentication: AI Gateway authenticates requests using an API key or OIDC token. You do not need to manage provider credentials directly.
Copy link to headingWhen to Use DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813
Best for
- Reproducible Agent Behaviour: A dated checkpoint that a series update cannot shift
- Agentic Production Work: The area that improved most over the preview build
- Million-Token Context: Compressed attention making a 1.0M tokens window practical
- Terminal And Tool Workloads: Its strongest vendor-reported benchmark territory
- Shiftable Batch Traffic: Off-peak billing at half the peak rate
Consider alternatives when
- General Capability: Its Artificial Analysis score sits mid-pack against frontier models
- Following The Series: Undated
deepseek-v4-protracks forward instead of pinning - Cheaper Throughput:
deepseek-v4-flash-0731is the efficiency tier of the same series - Verified Benchmarks: Headline results are vendor-reported and not independently replicated
Copy link to headingConclusion
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 is the checkpoint that took V4 Pro out of preview, with stronger agentic behaviour and a 1.0M tokens window that compressed attention makes usable. Point deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro-0813 at AI Gateway when you need pinned, reproducible behaviour, and check the pricing panel for the peak and off-peak schedule before committing a large workload.
