DeepSeek V4
Flagship multimodal MoE model with production rollout and ecosystem support.
- Reported ~1T parameters with sparse MoE activation.
- Multimodal support across text, image, and video workflows.
- Production rollout is active with Flash and Pro variants.
DeepSeek V4 is now in active rollout as the flagship multimodal MoE release in the lineup. Public research notes point to trillion-scale capacity with sparse activation, aiming to lift reasoning, code, and long-context reliability without linear compute cost.
Current positioning highlights longer context handling, stronger tool-use stability, and higher multimodal fidelity across image and video inputs. Teams should still validate behavior on their own evaluation sets because provider-side limits, pricing, and latency can vary by deployment.
Teams can validate production pipelines with both V4 and the existing lineup. Use V3.1 for general workloads, R1 for step-by-step reasoning, Math-7B for cost-sensitive math, Janus-Pro-7B for generation, and VL2 for OCR/document tasks, then route high-value requests to V4 where quality targets justify it.
