Claude Opus 4.8 (69.2% SWE-bench Pro, $25/1M) vs DeepSeek V4 Pro (55.4%, $0.87/1M). The coding king leads by 13.8 points — but DeepSeek wins LiveCodeBench (93.5%) and Terminal-Bench. Is the 28.7× premium worth it?
Both $15/1M output. GPT-5.4 is faster (242.5 char/s vs 173.3 on CodingFleet) and stronger on benchmarks (SWE-bench Pro +14, Terminal-Bench +16). Sonnet 4.6 counters with 90% cache discounts, no long-context surcharge, and mature Claude Code ecosystem. The real verdict: use both.
