Workload guidance

Which model should you choose?

Consider DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 if you need larger context or a lower listed input rate or a lower listed output rate. Consider Grok 4.5 if you need larger maximum output. DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 offers downloadable weights; Grok 4.5 is listed as a proprietary model. Compare licence terms and operating costs before choosing a deployment. Test both on the same representative examples and judge the output against your acceptance criteria. Include tool failures, retries and the time to a completed task.
