Differences in purpose

Deepseek V4 Pro

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 is a large-scale mixture-of-experts model from DeepSeek. This is the GA release of DeepSeek V4 Pro.

Qwen 3.8 Max

Qwen 3.8 Max is Alibaba’s next-generation flagship model built for complex coding, analytical, and professional workflows. It excels at full-stack development, data analysis, office automation, and long-running multi-step tasks.

Both IDs work in any tool that supports a custom base URL — see the integrations list.

Token usage

Tokenator deducts (input + output) × model multiplier from the key limit. Deepseek V4 Pro has a multiplier of 1.7× – 2×, Qwen 3.8 Max — 7× – 10×. A range means several upstream providers serve the model at different costs, so the final coefficient depends on which one handled the request.

See the API documentation for details on counting.
