Recent leaks and Financial Times reporting indicate DeepSeek V4, a trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language model with multimodal capabilities (text, image, video), targets late April 2026 release, optimized for Huawei Ascend chips amid U.S. export controls limiting Nvidia access. This follows DeepSeek's V3.2 launch in December 2025, which integrated tool-use and thinking modes, positioning the Chinese open-source lab as a cost-effective challenger to frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic. Trader consensus reflects delayed timelines from February hype, with competitive pressure from global AI benchmarks driving urgency; watch official DeepSeek API updates or Hugging Face for confirmation, as product slips remain common in rapid AI development cycles.

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.
