DeepSeek Coding Models: FAQ

What is the best DeepSeek model for coding?+

DeepSeek V4-Pro is the strongest DeepSeek coding model on Kilo Code: the best LiveCodeBench and Codeforces scores of any model evaluated, plus a true 1M-token context window. V4-Flash is the fast cheap variant; V3.1 Terminus is the previous-generation workhorse.

Can I use DeepSeek models in Kilo Code?+

Every DeepSeek model works in all Kilo-supported surfaces: VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Trae, JetBrains IDEs, and the Kilo CLI. DeepSeek additionally runs on local or self-hosted infrastructure through any OpenAI-compatible runtime.

How much do DeepSeek models cost on Kilo Code?+

DeepSeek pricing on Kilo Code is among the lowest of any frontier-class model. V4-Pro is $1.60 per million input and $3.38 per million output. V4-Flash is $0.14 / $0.28. V3.1 Terminus is $0.27 / $0.95. All run with no markup over the underlying provider rates.

Are DeepSeek models open source?+

Yes. Every DeepSeek model is published as open weights under the MIT license. You can download V4-Pro, V4-Flash, and V3.1 Terminus from Hugging Face and self-host with vLLM, SGLang, or other OpenAI-compatible runtimes — or use them hosted in Kilo Code with no setup.

What is the difference between DeepSeek's flagship coding models?+

V4-Pro is the 1.6T MoE flagship with 1M context, FP4/FP8 mixed precision, and #1 LiveCodeBench / Codeforces scores. V4-Flash is a smaller faster sibling for everyday tasks. V3.1 Terminus is the previous V3-series flagship, still strong for general coding work at lower cost.

Which IDEs and editors support DeepSeek models through Kilo?+
