SiliconANGLE · 1 month ago · 35

DeepSeek debuted V4 Flash Vision Exp, a multimodal model in its V4 series sold through its paid developer platform at launch. It scored more than 10% higher than its predecessor on two image-analysis benchmarks and beat Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 on two visual tests (ALE and ZeroBench). The release strengthens DeepSeek’s performance position in vision tasks, while architecture details were not disclosed beyond the underlying V4 Flash setup.
