Compare DeepSeek V4 Flash from DeepSeek and GPT 5 Pro 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.
DeepSeek V4 Flash
GPT 5 Pro(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.
GPT-5 pro uses more compute to think harder and provide consistently better answers. GPT-5 pro is available in the Responses API only to enable support for multi-turn model interactions before responding to API requests, and other advanced API features in the future. Since GPT-5 pro is designed to tackle tough problems, some requests may take several minutes to finish. To avoid timeouts, try using background mode. As our most advanced reasoning model, GPT-5 pro defaults to (and only supports) reasoning.effort: high. GPT-5 pro does not support code interpreter.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
Promotional prices show the discounted rate; see each model page for promotion windows.
Daily traffic served through AIHubMix — how demand for each model is trending.
Measured on real AIHubMix traffic, hourly buckets. Gaps mean no traffic in that hour.
Estimate your monthly bill for the same workload on each model.
Monthly = daily × 30. Discounted rates applied where a promotion is active.
DeepSeek V4 Flash: $0.284/M output tokens; GPT 5 Pro: $120/M. Use the cost calculator above to estimate your own workload.
DeepSeek V4 Flash: 1.0s time to first token measured on AIHubMix; see the live performance charts above for how each model behaves across the day.
DeepSeek V4 Flash accepts 1,000,000 and GPT 5 Pro accepts 400,000 input tokens. Maximum output per request is 384,000 tokens on DeepSeek V4 Flash and 272,000 tokens on GPT 5 Pro.
DeepSeek V4 Flash at 66.5 tok/s and GPT 5 Pro at 8.6 tok/s, measured as output throughput on AIHubMix — a separate metric from time to first token.
DeepSeek V4 Flash accepts text input and supports tool calling, function calling, structured outputs and thinking; GPT 5 Pro accepts text and image input and supports thinking, tool calling, function calling and structured outputs.
Yes. AIHubMix serves every model on this page behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so switching between them is a one-line change to the model field — no second account, key or SDK.
