DeepSeek released V4 in two versions: a 284 billion parameter Flash model and a 1.6 trillion parameter Pro model with 49 billion active parameters. According to DeepSeek, the models use 9.5x-13.7x less memory than V3 through compressed attention mechanisms and FP4/FP8 mixed precision, while supporting a 1 million token context window.

Deepseek v4 is launching in the coming weeks running exclusively on Huawei chips, marking a major milestone in China's effort to reduce dependency on foreign semiconductors. Chinese tech giants including Alibaba, Bytedance, and Tencent have ordered hundreds of thousands of Huawei Ascend 950PR units to deploy the model through their cloud services.
