DeepSeek v4 flash release version appears to have been activated on api. Open weights imminent?

DS4 sort of came and went from the spotlight. The consensus seemed to be that its most notable feature is its price, and then we got distracted by the next big releases.

However, people seem to forget this was only the preview version, and I think we may be about to receive a serious shock when the release version arrives, which from the sound of that thread I linked above, has happened now on api.

The open weights of the release version were also scheduled to be released in mid July, so the timing is right.

I think DS4 flash release version might end up being so good that it (combined with antirez’s dwarfstar4) will become the reason a bunch of people run out and buy overpriced local AI machines. Especially factoring in dspark if that gets released sometime soon here. Should unlock 100+ tps on 2x dgx spark.

And how intelligent will it be? I’m at a bit of a loss because there just aren’t many other recent models I can recall in the same weight class… but people are loving Hy3 and I have a feeling DS4 flash may benchmark just below it despite having around half the active params.

Meanwhile DS4 Pro should be an absolute beast. Extremely likely to unseat GLM 5.2 in my opinion.

Anyone else here eager for the return of the same DeepSeek that rocked the world with R1?

Looks like we’re about to get it!
