DeepSeek's multimodal hiring spree hints at visual upgrades in V4.1-visual exp and V4.2
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-24
A speculative thread argues DeepSeek's V4.1-visual exp/V4.2 will see visual capability improvements because the company began recruiting multimodal experts months ago, some of whom recently joined.
The author cites the big leap in V4.1 Flash's coding capabilities as evidence: it was reportedly the result of a few months' work by recent hires — "not that they couldn't do it, they just hadn't considered doing it before." Unconfirmed speculation.
