DeepSeek has released an experimental multimodal model, DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp. It layers vision capabilities on top of the existing V4-Flash text capabilities, leaving agents, reasoning, and world knowledge untouched.
Performance:
- Achieves a major leap over V4-Flash on multimodal agent benchmarks, bringing performance close to Opus-4.8.
