Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has officially unveiled the V4 Pro (version V4-Pro-0813). The release should help the company regain its leadership position in the fight against aggressive domestic competitors as it expands its staff, increases computing power, and attracts new investment.
According to the developers, the updated V4 Pro model significantly improves the capabilities of AI agents (autonomously performing complex tasks). It is already available to users via API, mobile application and web version, Reuters reports .
Along with the release, DeepSeek announced an increase in API usage prices for the V4 Pro and V4 Flash models.
In addition, the company is implementing a flexible payment system with a division into peak and off-peak hours, which should help optimize the load on server capacity during periods of highest user activity.
This release attracted increased industry attention due to an anomaly discovered during preliminary testing.
The cheaper V4 Flash model unexpectedly outperformed the V4 Pro in a number of independent benchmarks released in April. Since the Pro line is positioned as a more powerful and advanced product, this raised many questions.
The result shows that DeepSeek engineers managed to make a rapid technological leap between the April announcement and the official full launch.
