DeepSeek released V4 Flash Vision Exp for image input and tested it against Gemini 3.7 Flash using the same three document-image tasks. DeepSeek averaged 16.8 seconds per call and cost $0.0039 total versus Gemini’s 7.2 seconds and $0.0122. The results showed both matched on accuracy, so users at scale can choose DeepSeek for lower spend, while latency-sensitive users can choose Gemini for faster, more consistent replies.
