DeepSeek V2.5
DeepSeek V2.5 is a previous DeepSeek chat-plus-coder snapshot, not the live DeepSeek flagship. Rechecked 2026-08-18: leftover copy still called it the latest model that merged DeepSeek-V2-Chat and DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Instruct. 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. Drop leftover latest AI model / smarter chat plus efficient coding as a 2026 default.
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: Leftover 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: Recheck DeepSeek API before you quote a V2.5 row.
Use Cases
- People with a DeepSeek V2.5 bookmark who need the catalog corrected.
- People comparing leftover V2.5 vs leftover V3 vs live V4 Flash / V4 Pro.
- 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.

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.

A ChatGPT-signed Codex desktop app still shows mostly GPT in the picker. On Windows, enable only OpenCode Go and the Grok, GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek, and MiniMax models you already pay for appear in the same selector. Keys stay local. Native GPT stays put.
