DeepSeek V4 excels at coding but lags in general reasoning

DeepSeek V4's coding performance is exceptionally high, achieving top scores on benchmarks like SWE-bench and LiveCodeBench. However, evaluations by CAISI suggest its general reasoning and agentic capabilities lag significantly behind frontier models, placing it about eight months behind. This discrepancy highlights how specialized optimization for coding tasks may not translate to broader AI competencies, and the performance gap can widen further when using quantized or smaller versions of the model for local deployment.
