DeepSeek V4 Pro

DeepSeek V4 Pro is a million-token reasoning and coding model; the GA build 0813 shipped August 13, 2026 with a 1M context, 384K max output, and reasoning effort low/high/max. DeepSeek switched to peak/off-peak billing on August 16, 2026, with off-peak at half price. Teamday runs it through the Pi harness — directly against the DeepSeek API (the best path with a DeepSeek key), or via OpenRouter or Together.
