(This model currently points to the older 0423 version; if you need to request the latest version, you can choose the model deepseek-v4-flash-0731)DeepSeek-V4 features an ultra-long context of one million characters and achieves leading performance domestically and in the open-source domain in agent capabilities, world knowledge, and reasoning.
DeepSeek V4 Flash vs GPT 4o
Compare DeepSeek V4 Flash from DeepSeek and GPT 4o from OpenAI on key metrics including benchmarks, price, context length, and other model features. Access both models and hundreds of others through the AIHubMix API.
GPT-4o (“o” stands for “omni”) is a new-generation multimodal model designed for more natural human–computer interaction. It can accept any combination of text, audio, image, and video as input, and generate multimodal outputs including text, audio, and images. With audio response latency as low as 232 milliseconds on average around 320 milliseconds, it approaches real human conversational speed. The model delivers strong performance in English text and code, significantly improved multilingual understanding, and outstanding capabilities in visual and audio perception, while offering faster API performance and substantially reduced cost for real-time and complex multimodal applications.
