DeepSeek-V4-Pro
DeepSeek's frontier tier — worth the 3x premium over Flash only for hard agentic/production coding, deep reasoning and tool-heavy workflows where Flash's quality gap actually shows; note the tighter 500-concurrent limit and use reasoning_effort=max sparingly since thinking tokens bill at the output rate.
