DeepSeek V4 Pro hits GPT-5 parity on 5 of 7 benchmarks — at a fraction of the cost
DeepSeek V4 Pro just got benchmarked by NIST’s CAISI against GPT-5. The verdict: roughly the same intelligence, about 8 months behind frontier closed models, but cheaper than GPT-5.4 mini on 5 of 7 tested benchmarks — anywhere from 53% less expensive to 41% more. That’s the whole story. China’s open-weight champ is again forcing closed-source… Continue reading
