DeepSeek has officially released its V4 Pro model, a significant advancement in its open-source AI offerings. This new model demonstrates impressive performance, particularly in agentic coding tasks, where it rivals or even surpasses leading models like Fable 5 and Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 on various benchmarks. Despite its powerful capabilities and competitive pricing, the V4 Pro model currently lacks vision support, and users have noted a change in its reasoning output, which may impact creative writing tasks.
