DeepSeek V4 remains unreleased as of early April 2026, despite multiple rumored windows passing since February, fueling trader anticipation amid reports of optimization for Huawei's Ascend chips over NVIDIA hardware. This geopolitical pivot—Chinese giants like Alibaba and Tencent ordering hundreds of thousands of units—signals accelerating independence from U.S. export controls, positioning DeepSeek as a cost-efficient open-weight challenger to frontier large language models from OpenAI and Anthropic, with speculated 1T parameters, multimodal capabilities, and superior coding benchmarks. Delays stem from training issues on domestic silicon, but recent leaks and Polymarket volume suggest an imminent launch, potentially before mid-April, that could reshape open-source AI competitive dynamics.

Intermediate versions (e.g., DeepSeek-V3.5) will not count; however, versions such as DeepSeek V4 or V5 would count.
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.
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.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from DeepSeek, with additional verification from a consensus of credible reporting.
