Leaked DeepSeek V4 Pro Benchmarks Show Top-Tier Performance at 1/100 Cost
PMinervini · x · 2026-08-13
Recently leaked (but officially unconfirmed) benchmark results for DeepSeek V4 Pro have surfaced. Visualizations of the data indicate that V4 Pro outperforms current frontier models across multiple datasets.
Analysts suggest that if this model is open-sourced, its ultra-small sparse KV Cache could allow DeepMind to offer frontier-level capabilities at significantly lower costs. With much higher cache hit rates compared to Anthropic, the total API cost could be 1/50 to 1/100 of competitors. This dramatic cost reduction could accelerate AI adoption industry-wide and establish SSD KV Cache as a new standard.
