DeepSeek spotted testing V4-Flash-Vision: new arch, native multimodal, same price
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-08
A model id deepseek-v4.1-flash-expires-on-0910 surfaced in DeepSeek's test environment, pointing to V4-Flash-Vision [Intermediate]:
- Brand-new architecture with native multimodality — faster, stronger, priced the same as current V4 Flash
- But capped at 20 concurrent requests vs 500 for Pro and 2500 for Flash, suggesting it's not a batch-size tweak
- The poster speculates deeper diffusion integration (DSpark2)
Credible internal-testing evidence, not officially confirmed; the id expires 0910.
