Deepseek V4 Flash Vision Experimental is live

Officially available on Api. Open weights could be dropped any moment.
I expect it to be vision aware weights, not vision tower + projector.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp is now live on the DeepSeek API Platform!

  • This experimental multimodal model matches DeepSeek-V4-Flash on text capabilities—including agents, reasoning, and world knowledge.
  • On multimodal agent benchmarks, V4-Flash-Vision-Exp makes a major leap over V4-Flash, bringing multimodal agent performance close to Opus-4.8.
  • Try it with model=‘deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp’. DeepSeek Harness 0.1.1 was released today with out-of-the-box support for the new model.

Finally! Glad to see there’s some improvements on the other benchmarks too. Deepseek v4 flash is the gift that keeps on giving

Indeed, that that everyone on LocalLLama reddit is screaming and moaning about 6x price hike we can finally keed nodding about our smart financial choices :D

It’s def going to drop soon. I almost have my vision sidecar working well. That’s how I know.

Anyone got a link for where it is going to land?

DeepSeek released all of their open weight models on Hugging Face, so deepseek-ai (DeepSeek) should be a good place to check regularly

Wonder if someone will make a single spark version, too. If they can make it similar in quality to those EXL quants in the other DSV4F topic, it might finally be a full replacement for 3.5 122B in every way.
