China’s DeepSeek Upgrades V4 Pro: Claude Fable Is Only 5% Better at 4,500% the Price
60-second summary
DeepSeek is upgrading its V4 Pro model, Claude Fable, which was previously benchmarked 18 points behind Anthropic's flagship in April. However, DeepSeek's own numbers indicate Claude Fable is only 5% better, yet it comes at a staggering 4,500% price increase. This significant price gap raises questions about the model's value proposition in the AI market.
The April preview got benchmarked to death and landed 18 points behind Anthropic’s flagship. DeepSeek’s own numbers for the finished model tell a very different story.
