The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has evaluated DeepSeek V4 Pro, a new AI model from Chinese company DeepSeek. The evaluation found that DeepSeek V4 Pro performs comparably to OpenAI's GPT-5, which was released approximately eight months prior. Despite this lag, DeepSeek V4 Pro achieved the highest score among Chinese-developed AI models to date, surpassing previous top performers like Kimi K2.5. Notably, the NIST report also highlighted DeepSeek V4 Pro's superior cost-efficiency compared to similar U.S. AI models, offering significant savings on token processing. AI
