DeepSeek V4 Pro
Quality, size and local speed
#16 among 22 evaluated open models in this release
Where it performs best
LiveBench 2026-06-25 · 0–100 ↗LiveBench 2026-06-25 measures the named benchmark variant, not a local Q4 run. Scores were collected 2026-09-26; the seven categories share the same 0–100 scale. This is not the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. Q4 size covers only the counted weights; multimodal auxiliary components may add files.
Quality versus estimated Q4 weight size
Reviewed language checkpoints with a LiveBench score and a parameter-based size estimate. The highlighted point is this model when both values are available.
Horizontal axis: estimated Q4 model-weight disk size in decimal GB (log scale). Vertical axis: LiveBench overall / 100. This formula is not the published checkpoint size, runtime memory or a speed test. Models without both inputs are left out of this chart, not scored as zero.
The DeepSeek V4 Pro checkpoint is published by DeepSeek for language and reasoning. Its weights are available under MIT; that alone does not establish that its code and all components are open source.
Compare DeepSeek V4 Pro with other language and reasoning checkpoints using its linked publisher card and the LiveBench 2026-06-25 snapshot. This is quality evidence, not a local speed result.
The generic Q4 planning estimate is about 1208 GB from 1600B stated parameters. It is not a measured minimum; context, batch size, runtime and quantization change actual memory use.

Run locally: known and unknown
~1208 GB generic Q4 planning memory. Formula: parameters × 0.625 bytes, plus 20% working allowance and 8 GB reserve. This is neither measured VRAM nor checkpoint download size.
Q4 planning estimate only. Check checkpoint format, runtime support, KV cache, context, batch size and offload before choosing hardware.
Evidence level: Generic estimate only; no execution reproduced by this site.
Before downloading
- Check the exact checkpoint and license linked here.
- Confirm a compatible runtime and precision or quantization for your platform.
- Allow for context, batch size and any extra media components beyond the weights.
