DeepSeek Suffers Full Outage, Status Page Exposes V4 Pro Naming and Fuels Release Rumors
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-15
DeepSeek's status page showed a Full Outage of Web/API lasting over an hour, affecting V4 Pro and V4.1 Flash API services plus Chat, with the cause identified and a fix underway. The page's V4 Pro naming led leaker teortaxesTex to speculate a new "Whale" model could drop Thursday evening Beijing time, DeepSeek's usual 5-7 PM window — though he cautions it may just be more RL training. Unconfirmed.
