Community Races to Crack DeepSeek's Hidden Checkpoint Name After Millions of Guesses Fail
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-27
Fingerprint-hunting enthusiast @teortaxesTex found a new DeepSeek-flash fingerprint (bc19ba97cbe016479903222bb1578db6) and invited others to crack the underlying checkpoint name.
He says he has swept 2,674 model names × 2,555 dates plus millions more combinations with no hit, guessing DeepSeek may have changed to a new suffix like prod0820fp8kvcache20260402fp — possibly with a new naming scheme on new hardware. This crowd-sourced checkpoint hunting is a beloved ritual for inferring labs' unreleased models before any announcement.
