DeepSeek V4 Pro

Last updated: September 15, 2026

DeepSeek V4 Pro completed 36 of 55 private-markets finance tasks (65.5%) at $0.55 per task and 109 seconds each, ranking #10 of 17 models tested — strongest on metric lookups, weakest on financial statements.

Tested on 55 tasks across seven kinds of financial work — reading documents, looking up figures, building statements, finding and fixing errors, assembling dashboards, drawing charts, and multi-step requests. It passed 12 of 12 on metric lookups and 3 of 7 on financial statements. Run-to-run noise is about ±1.8 tasks, so gaps of two tasks or fewer are ties.

Category Breakdown

DeepSeek V4 Pro against the average of every engine tested, category by category. The gap between the two bars is the only thing worth reading here — a category where the whole field struggles is a property of the tasks, not of the engine.

Every column is measured within that category. The ingest harness is a separate suite of longer, heavier workflows — several times the tool calls of an analysis task — so its cost and latency are not comparable with the six rows below it.

Where it fell short

The 15 tasks DeepSeek V4 Pro did not pass, of 50 graded individually. A benchmark that publishes only totals has to be taken on trust; these are the specific misses behind this model's score.

A fraction means the task was run more than once and the runs disagreed. A number after a failure is the partial credit awarded. Five of the 55 tasks in the headline total are not broken out individually in the published results.
