DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 and GPT-5.6 Sol were compared on the DeepSWE benchmark, which evaluates software engineering capabilities. GPT-5.6 Sol demonstrated superior single-attempt accuracy and speed, solving 72.7% of tasks on the first try. However, DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 proved to be 35 times cheaper, offering broader coverage over multiple attempts. A combined approach, using Pro first and escalating to Sol when necessary, achieved an 83% task completion rate at a lower cost than using Sol alone. This strategy highlights the cost-effectiveness of Pro while leveraging Sol's precision when needed.
