DeepSeek Flash fingerprint change hints at migration to a new GPU cluster
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-29
DeepSeek watchers noticed a new Flash checkpoint, but with a changed model fingerprint. Community consensus: Flash was moved to a different cluster, possibly because DeepSeek recently received a new batch of GPUs — hinting recent slowness came from not running on Blackwells. Some suspect a DeepSeek employee deliberately altered the fingerprint to bait fans. Unverified community observation.
