DeepSeek V4, the anticipated next-generation large language model from Chinese AI lab DeepSeek AI, remains unreleased as of mid-April 2026, with trader sentiment hinging on recent internal leaks confirming a late-April rollout after earlier February delays. Founder Liang Wenfeng's disclosure of a second-half April launch, coupled with test interfaces revealing vision and expert modes, has fueled optimism around its rumored 1 trillion parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, 1M token context, Engram memory, and Huawei chip optimization for cost-efficient inference. This positions it to challenge frontier models like Claude and GPT in coding and multimodality, amid intensifying Chinese open-source competition from GLM-5.1 and Qwen; watch for official benchmarks or API access by month-end to sway market-implied odds.

Intermediate versions (e.g., DeepSeek-V3.5) will not count; however, versions such as DeepSeek V4 or V5 would count.
The "next DeepSeek V model" refers to the next major release in the DeepSeek V series, explicitly named as such or clearly positioned as a successor to DeepSeek-V3.
Only releases representing a core version progression in the DeepSeek V series, “clearly positioned as a successor to DeepSeek-V3,” will qualify. Other models, such as derivative models (e.g., "V4-Lite," "V4-Mini"), task-specialized models, R-series reasoning models, and experimental or preview releases (e.g., "V4-Exp," "V4-Preview"), that are not positioned as the new V flagship model, will not qualify.
For this market to resolve to "Yes," the next DeepSeek V model must be launched and publicly accessible, including via open beta or open rolling waitlist signups. A closed beta or any form of private access will not suffice. The release must be clearly defined and publicly announced by DeepSeek as being accessible to the general public.
If a qualifying model is made publicly accessible and explicitly labeled with the relevant version name within the company’s official website, this will qualify as “publicly announced”. Labeling errors, placeholder text, or version names displayed on the website that do not correspond to a model that is actually accessible to the general public under the rules will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from DeepSeek, with additional verification from a consensus of credible reporting.
