DeepSeek V4 Pro vs Yi-Large benchmark

This page compares DeepSeek V4 Pro (DeepSeek) and Yi-Large (01.AI) using the latest snapshots we have as of Aug 16, 2026. On preference Elo, DeepSeek V4 Pro is ahead by 106 points (1,536 vs 1,430; seed-bootstrap (Aug 1, 2026)). On SWE-bench coding, DeepSeek V4 Pro resolves 71.6% versus 53.8% (seed-bootstrap (Aug 1, 2026)). Yi-Large streams faster (90 tok/s) while Yi-Large is the cheaper output token ($0.3/1M). DeepSeek V4 Pro has the larger context window (1M tokens). Every cell below is a dated snapshot from a named public source — we do not invent missing scores, and we do not run SWE-bench ourselves.

Quick answer

DeepSeek V4 Pro vs Yi-Large is a dated snapshot, not a lab score. DeepSeek V4 Pro leads preference Elo (1,536 vs 1,430). DeepSeek V4 Pro leads SWE-bench coding. Yi-Large is the cheaper output token. Elo is crowd preference, not an exam. Pick the column that matches the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall, DeepSeek V4 Pro or Yi-Large?
DeepSeek V4 Pro has the higher preference Elo in our latest snapshot (1,536). “Better” still depends on coding, price, and latency — see the table.
Which is better at coding, DeepSeek V4 Pro or Yi-Large?
DeepSeek V4 Pro leads SWE-bench at 71.6% vs 53.8%. SWE-bench is one harness, not your repo.
Which is cheaper to run in production?
Yi-Large output tokens are $0.3/1M versus $0.87/1M. Input prices and retry rates still move the real bill.
Which is faster, DeepSeek V4 Pro or Yi-Large?
Yi-Large has the lower time-to-first-token (220 ms vs 410 ms). Tokens/sec is a separate column if you care about long completions.
Which has the larger context window?
DeepSeek V4 Pro accepts 1M tokens versus 33k.
Can I self-host either model?
DeepSeek V4 Pro is marked open-weights in our catalog. The other side is a closed API. Check the provider license before you ship weights.
Are these scores from CompareLLM’s own evals?
No. V1 aggregates public leaderboards (and optional first-party latency pings). Each cell names its source and date. Read /methodology.
What does preference Elo mean on this page?
Preference Elo is a crowd vote from LMArena / Arena. People see two hidden answers and pick the one they like more. The model that wins more often gets a higher Elo. That means people preferred it — not that it passed a school test. It is not SWE-bench, not accuracy, and not a number we invent. DeepSeek V4 Pro and Yi-Large Elo cells are dated snapshots from the named source — we do not compute Arena ourselves.
