- What happened
- Together AI benchmarked DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 versus GPT-5.6 Sol on DeepSWE coding tasks. Pro costs 35x less; Sol wins first attempt; Pro wins with retries.
- Why it matters
- Engineers choosing models for software engineering tasks need to decide between cost and single-shot accuracy, or whether cascading models makes sense for their workload.
- Watch out
- Results are specific to DeepSWE benchmark and Together AI's implementation. Sol breaks existing tests in 20% of failures versus Pro's 11%, requiring different guardrails.
