# DeepSeek V4 Pro — deprecation status

> No — DeepSeek V4 Pro is not deprecated as of August 3, 2026. DeepSeek has announced neither a deprecation nor a shutdown date for it.

DeepSeek's frontier model, 1.6T parameters with 49B active, released alongside V4 Flash in April 2026 and served from the same base URL through either the OpenAI or the Anthropic wire format. No legacy alias ever pointed at it: the two ids DeepSeek retired in July 2026 both routed to Flash, so reaching Pro has always meant naming it. Roughly three times the price of Flash for the same million-token context window.
