## The details
* DeepSeek V4 comes in two versions: DeepSeek-V4-Pro (1.6T total / 49B active parameters) and DeepSeek-V4-Flash (284B total / 13B active parameters).
* Both variants are mixture-of-experts models and have a context window of 1M tokens.
* DeepSeek V4 has a new architecture that significantly reduces computing requirements for long texts. For more technical information, check out the [paper](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro/blob/main/DeepSeek_V4.pdf){:target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.
* DeepSeek can offer its models via API at significantly lower prices than OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. The models of DeepSeek V4 are available on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/collections/deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4){:target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.
**Our thoughts**
DeepSeek-V4-Pro is currently the largest open-weights model available. However, our online research shows that it can’t compete with the top models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
Like OpenAI and Anthropic, DeepSeek primarily targets developers. These days, you often see coding benchmarks in publications.
