 $0.113 per million tokens, balanced Balanced Summarise Chat Code gen Agentic

## DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 scores higher and costs less — but you would give something up.

**+30** on the capability index and **7% cheaper** ($0.105/M against $0.113/M). What you lose:

### Every price dimension

| Input | $0.100 /M |

| Output | $0.150 /M |

### Independent scores

| Intelligence | 21.8 |
| --- | --- |
| Coding | 28.7 |
| Agentic | 7 |

Sources are listed separately rather than averaged. Across the 62 models both have scored they correlate at r = 0.806 — close agreement overall, but four models rank very differently between them, and a blended score would hide exactly those.
