With about a month until the Spring Festival, the global large model industry has once again turned its attention to China's star startup company DeepSeek. According to insiders, DeepSeek plans to release its next-generation flagship large model, DeepSeek V4, in the coming weeks. As an iteration of last year's groundbreaking DeepSeek V3, this new model is rumored to focus on enhancing code generation capabilities, targeting one of the most competitive AI programming markets.

According to preliminary internal test data from DeepSeek, DeepSeek V4 shows strong performance in code generation, even surpassing some top models like Claude and ChatGPT in certain dimensions. Previously, there have been rumors that DeepSeek's future model architecture will no longer distinguish between general capabilities and reasoning capabilities, so the V4 version may have already integrated the rumored reasoning model DeepSeek R2, to achieve more efficient logical processing and code writing.

Although this news has spread widely on social media and within the industry, some media have raised doubts about the professionalism of the leaked information, arguing that some of the terms described are not rigorous and could be fake information generated by AI. However, considering DeepSeek's release rhythm of the R1 model before last Spring Festival, the industry generally believes that its actions around the Spring Festival make sense.

In addition to software updates, this release may also involve the latest progress in the domestic chip industry. Although the official has not yet officially announced it, the market's expectations for this "homegrown programming tool" have already reached their peak. Whether DeepSeek V4 will be released as scheduled and once again break the performance limits of open-source large models remains to be verified by time.

Key Points:

  • 🚀 Release Timing: DeepSeek V4 is expected to officially debut around the Spring Festival, continuing its tradition of releasing major updates at important milestones.

  • 💻 Programming Enhancement: The new model will focus on AI programming capabilities, with internal tests indicating that its code generation level is expected to surpass Claude and ChatGPT.

  • 🛠️ Architecture Integration: V4 may no longer differentiate between general and reasoning models, instead enhancing overall logical processing performance through technological integration.
