DeepSeek v4 Flash release may already be on API
datbackup · reddit · 2026-07-20
A Reddit post speculates that **DeepSeek v4 Flash**’s release version may already be live on the API, with open weights potentially imminent. ### What the post claims - The previous **preview** version was only a teaser, and the “real” release could land with much stronger capability. - Open weights were expected in mid-July, which matches the current timing. - The author thinks the release could outperform many local options and possibly rival or beat other models in its class. - They speculate that **DS4 Pro** could be especially strong and might even unseat **GLM 5.2**. It’s presented as an informed guess rather than confirmed official news, but the post is clearly about an upcoming DeepSeek model milestone.
