DeepSeek released two Mixture-of-Experts models: V4-Flash with 284B total parameters (13B activated) and V4-Pro with 1.6T parameters (49B activated). Both models support one million token context windows and use a hybrid attention architecture that requires only 27% of the inference FLOPs compared to DeepSeek-V3.2 at 1M token context.

Mistral AI has released Mistral Small 4, the latest iteration of its small-scale language model. The company claims improvements in reasoning and coding capabilities, though specific benchmark scores and pricing details have not been publicly disclosed.
