DeepSeek V2.5
DeepSeek V2.5 is a previous DeepSeek chat-plus-coder snapshot, not the live DeepSeek flagship. The current DeepSeek path on this site is DeepSeek V4 Flash ($0.14/$0.28) and DeepSeek V4 Pro. api-docs.deepseek.com lists deepseek-v4-flash / deepseek-v4-pro.
Compare leftover DeepSeek V3 if you wanted the later 2024 general snapshot, leftover DeepSeek-Coder-V2.5 if you wanted the already-rewritten coder twin, and DeepSeek V4 Flash if you wanted the live small agent model.
Key Features
- Previous chat-plus-coder merge: older copy treated V2.5 as the current combined chat and code SKU.
- Not the 2026 DeepSeek lead: Live API rows are V4 Flash and V4 Pro.
- Not the same slug as DeepSeek-Coder-V2.5: This page is the general V2.5 snapshot. The leftover coder twin already lives at DeepSeek-Coder-V2.5.
- No invented token dollar: Confirm DeepSeek API before you quote a V2.5 row.
Use Cases
- People with a DeepSeek V2.5 bookmark who need the catalog corrected.
- People who were about to call it DeepSeek's current chat-plus-coder default.
Limitation: We did not re-download a 2024 V2.5 card or invent a 2026 per-token price.

If a leftover blog still calls V2.5 the latest DeepSeek model, treat this page as the correction.

Seven AI Coding CLIs, Six Months: No Matter How Strong the Model, Work Needs Supervision
Claude Code, Codex, opencode, pi, omp and DeepSeek Harness all have personalities. After six months of deep use I run a division of labor: pi for the fastest cheapest reviews, omp for complex PRs, DeepSeek Harness on V4 Flash for high-frequency low-cost review, and Claude Code, Qoder and Cursor for writing. No matter how strong the model, work needs supervision — ideally from an independent third party.
