DeepSeek Ships Experimental V4-Flash-Vision-Exp, Multimodal Agent Performance Nears Opus-4.8
dair_ai · x · 2026-08-21
DeepSeek has launched the experimental multimodal V4-Flash-Vision-Exp on its API platform: it matches V4-Flash on text capabilities — including agents, reasoning, and world knowledge — while making a major leap on multimodal agent benchmarks, bringing performance close to Opus-4.8. Access it via model='deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp'; DeepSeek Harness 0.1.1, released the same day, supports it out of the box. Commenters also flag Ox Alpha's 1M-token contexts across text, image, and video, excelling at coding and agentic tasks.
