Claude Opus 4.7 costs $5.00 per million input tokens and $25.00 per million output tokens; DeepSeek-V4-Pro costs $0.43 and $0.87. That makes DeepSeek-V4-Pro about 96% cheaper for the same work.
How do you compare the two?
We use the 51 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 33 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 18 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
