DeepSeek · the next open flagship — V4 GA lands first

no date yet — v4 ga lands first v4 pro + flash in preview since apr 24 open weights, mit license

DeepSeek hasn't said a word about V5 — but the runway is being cleared. V4 Pro and V4 Flash have sat in open-weight preview since April 24, and the API's legacy deepseek-chat / deepseek-reasoner aliases retire July 24 — the cleanest signal yet that V4 goes GA, with V5 behind it. We watch the API either way: the second anything new answers, ArtificialWatch fires.
