DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 scores higher and costs less — but you would give something up.
+22.1 on the capability index and 34% cheaper ($0.105/M against $0.160/M). What you lose:
- no image, video input
Capability scores do not measure context length, output ceiling or which inputs a model accepts, so a higher score does not mean a drop-in replacement.
The same model via free is 100% cheaper (free/M) — same weights, different latency.
