Compare DeepSeek V4 Flash from DeepSeek and GPT 5.2 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 5.2(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-5.2 is an advanced general-purpose model that improves on GPT-5.1 with more reliable, flexible, and user-friendly interactions. It delivers clearer responses, stronger instruction-following, and adaptive reasoning that scales from simple requests to complex, multi-step tasks. With enhanced control over tone and structure and support for extended context, GPT-5.2 is well suited for agent workflows, analysis, coding, and cross-domain applications.
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.
