On Friday, Chinese AI firm DeepSeek released a preview of V4, its long-awaited new flagship model. Notably, the model can process much longer prompts than its last generation, thanks to a new design that helps it handle large amounts of text more efficiently.
V4 marks DeepSeek’s most significant release since R1 , the reasoning model it launched in January 2025.
DeepSeek has kept a relatively low profile since then—but earlier this month, it effectively teased V4’s release when it added “expert” and “flash” modes to the online version of its model, prompting speculation that the updates were tied to a bigger upcoming.
