Overview

What Is DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 API?

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 is DeepSeek-AI’s official DeepSeek-V4-Pro release, described as a reasoning-oriented, text-only model for generation, coding, and agentic tool-use workflows. It is identified as the production release that supersedes the preview model and includes a DSpark speculative-decoding module.

The model is a transformer-based sparse mixture-of-experts system with hybrid compressed sparse attention and heavily compressed attention, and it supports multi-turn messages in OpenAI-compatible format.

What DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 Brings to the Table

Architecture
Transformer-based sparse mixture-of-experts model with hybrid Compressed Sparse Attention, Heavily Compressed Attention, Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections, and an attached DSpark speculative-decoding module.

Scale
The model card lists 1.65T total parameters and 49B active parameters, with a vocabulary size of 129,280.

Input and output
It accepts text input and produces text output as string completions and reasoning content.

Reasoning support
The model card states it supports low, high, and max reasoning-effort levels.

Use profile
It is described as designed for text generation, reasoning, coding, and agentic tool-use workflows.

API Pricing

  • Output: $4.524 / 1M tokens
  • Cached input: $0.1885 / 1M tokens

Where DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 Makes the Most Sense

Reasoning workflows
Suitable for multi-step problem solving and other tasks where the model’s reasoning-effort controls are useful.

Coding assistance
Explicitly described as designed for coding tasks.

Agentic tool use
The model is positioned for agentic workflows and tool-use scenarios.

Long-context analysis
Its stated one-million-token input context makes it suitable for long-form text analysis and multi-turn sessions.
