How alternatives are chosen
- Scores — LiveBench release 2026-10-25. Only models with a published run are suggested on quality; a missing model means “not evaluated”, not “worse”.
- Prices — live list prices from OpenRouter, blended 3:1 input:output. Monthly figures price a RAG assistant with the published cached-input rate where there is one.
- Same job — suggestions must support every capability DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 has among tool calling and image input. Other listings of the same model (free or batch tiers) are variants, not alternatives, and are left out.
