DeepSeek V4 Pro vs Kimi K3
什么时候选哪个
两者都是文本输入的推理模型，带聊天、代码和工具，但 deepseek-v4-pro 是更便宜的纯文本路径：每百万输入 $1.32、输出 $3.96，对 kimi-k3 的 $3 和 $15——输入约 2.3 倍，输出约 3.8 倍——它 $0.132 的缓存读取也比 kimi-k3 的 $0.3 便宜约 2.3 倍。需要图像或视频输入、1048576 token 上下文、或单次响应最多 1048576 输出 token 时选 kimi-k3；做大批量文本工作、要 1000000 token 上下文与最多 393216 输出、并且想关闭思考（kimi-k3 不允许）时选 deepseek-v4-pro。

同一条提示词，两个模型，经网关实测
DeepSeek V4 Pro 通过 · 3 sentences
Enabling reasoning causes the model to generate a lengthy internal chain‑of‑thought before it delivers a visible answer, and we are billed for every one of those hidden reasoning tokens just as we are for the final output. In most interactions, the volume of these unseen tokens at least equals the visible response, effectively doubling the total tokens consumed per query. That doubled token consumption translates directly into a doubled per‑query cost, which is why our overall LLM bill doubled.

Reasoning models don't just answer questions—they "think" first, generating long internal chains of step-by-step logic before producing a response. Those hidden thinking steps are billed as output tokens (the most expensive kind, typically 3–5x the price of input tokens), and a single query can generate thousands of them even when the visible answer is only a paragraph long. So you're paying for dramatically more compute per request: the bill doubled because the model does far more work behind the scenes, not because usage increased.

DeepSeek V4 Pro 通过 · 8/8 cases
```python def longest_run(xs): if not xs: return 0 best = 1 cur = 1 for i in range(1, len(xs)): if xs[i] == xs[i - 1]: cur += 1 best = max(best, cur) else: cur = 1 return best ``` **Explanation:** The bug stems from initializing `cur = 0` and only incrementing it when two adjacent elements match, which counts the number of *additional* equal elements rather than the actual run length (which is `cur + 1`). As a result, the returned `best` is always one less than the true longest run—most obviously returning 0 for a single-element list instead of 1. […]

```python def longest_run(xs): if not xs: return 0 best = 1 cur = 1 for i in range(1, len(xs)): if xs[i] == xs[i - 1]: cur += 1 best = max(best, cur) else: cur = 1 return best ``` The bug is a fencepost error: `cur` counts *matching adjacent pairs* rather than *items in the run*, because it starts at 0 and only increments when `xs[i] == xs[i - 1]`. A run of length L contains L−1 equal pairs, so every run was undercounted by exactly one. For a single-element list (a run of length 1) the loop never runs and the function returns 0 instead of 1; likewise any run ending at the last index — e.g. the two `2`s in `[1, 2, 2]` — reported 1 instead of 2, making it look like no run existed at all.

Meet Prompt Cache, a new API gateway capability that stores prompt responses and serves them across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Azure endpoints. It matches requests by model, prompt hash, tools, temperature, and tenant policy, so repeated work returns fast while sensitive contexts stay isolated. Teams set TTLs, stale rules, encryption scopes, and bypass flags per route. Analytics show hit rate, latency saved, token spend avoided, and drift risk by provider. What changes for developers? Keep one integration, add cache headers, and watch fallback logic respect consent, residency, and audit needs. During rollout, canary keys compare fresh answers with cached copies before promotion. Prompt Cache cuts vendor calls, steadies p95 latency, and gives platform owners controls for cost, quality, and compliance.

DeepSeek V4 Pro 和 Kimi K3 哪个更便宜？
按「输入 / 1M token」算，DeepSeek V4 Pro 更便宜（$1.32 对 $3，相差 2.3×）。其他计费项的结论可能相反，完整价格见上方表格，实际成本取决于你的用量构成。
不用分别集成两次，就能对 DeepSeek V4 Pro 和 Kimi K3 做 A/B 测试吗？
可以。两个模型走同一个 OpenAI 兼容端点，用同一个 API key，切换时只要改一行里的模型名，所以可以给两个模型各分一部分流量，直接对比账单。
DeepSeek V4 Pro 和 Kimi K3 支持提示词缓存吗？
支持。两个模型的缓存读取价都低于各自的输入价，所以前缀能反复命中缓存的负载，实际成本会比按官网价估算的低。具体的缓存读取价见上方价格表。
