DeepSeek's anticipated V4 large language model remains unreleased as of early April 2026, driving trader sentiment amid recent 13-hour service outages speculated as grayscale testing for the upgrade. These disruptions, the longest yet, coincide with Chinese media hints of an April launch and leaked benchmarks touting 1 trillion Mixture-of-Experts parameters, Engram memory architecture, 1 million-token context, and top-tier coding performance rivaling Claude and GPT-4o on SWE-bench. Hardware delays from Huawei Ascend 910B failures pushed back earlier February expectations, underscoring China's push for cost-efficient open-weight AI amid U.S. export curbs. Polymarket traders, wagering real capital, lean toward an imminent drop before mid-April; monitor official DeepSeek channels for confirmation, as competitive releases from Tencent's Hunyuan could accelerate timelines.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the next DeepSeek V model is made available to the general public by April 7, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No."
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.This market will resolve to "Yes" if the next DeepSeek V model is made available to the general public by April 15, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET.

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.

0x65070BE91...DeepSeek's anticipated V4 large language model remains unreleased as of early April 2026, driving trader sentiment amid recent 13-hour service outages speculated as grayscale testing for the upgrade. These disruptions, the longest yet, coincide with Chinese media hints of an April launch and leaked benchmarks touting 1 trillion Mixture-of-Experts parameters, Engram memory architecture, 1 million-token context, and top-tier coding performance rivaling Claude and GPT-4o on SWE-bench. Hardware delays from Huawei Ascend 910B failures pushed back earlier February expectations, underscoring China's push for cost-efficient open-weight AI amid U.S. export curbs. Polymarket traders, wagering real capital, lean toward an imminent drop before mid-April; monitor official DeepSeek channels for confirmation, as competitive releases from Tencent's Hunyuan could accelerate timelines.
