DeepSeek officially released its V4-Pro model on Thursday, making it available across the company's app, web interface, and API after the model had been in preview since April.
The company said the general availability version, designated DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813, focuses on agent capabilities — tasks where AI systems use tools, execute code, and complete multi-step workflows without human intervention. Benchmark results released by DeepSeek showed the model scored 87.9 on Terminal Bench 2.1, 62.7 on DeepSWE, and 61.5 on NL2Repo, among other agent-focused tests. According to the Global Times, the model is capable of handling a context window of up to 1 million tokens and can produce outputs as long as 384,000 tokens, with the option to run in either thinking or non-thinking mode.
