DeepSeek V4 Pro
A solid pick for self-hosting and full data control.
Overview
DeepSeek V4 Pro is a 1.6-trillion-parameter MoE model (49B active) released under an MIT licence with a 1-million-token context window. It stands out on coding benchmarks (Codeforces, LiveCodeBench) and holds its own against closed frontier models on reasoning, though it trails Gemini 3.1 Pro on some pure knowledge tasks. Real limit: its 865GB of weights demand dedicated server-grade hardware, out of reach for smaller teams. Self-hosted, it keeps all data on-premises regardless of the vendor's country; only the hosted API, served from China, raises a data-location question.
