DeepSeek's experimental V4 Flash now understands images, performance said to rival Opus 4.8
↗
DeepSeek released an experimental version of its V4 Flash model that can process visual prompts, claiming it approaches the performance of Anthropic's Opus 4.8.
WHY IT MATTERS
This signals DeepSeek's entry into multimodal AI, potentially offering engineers a new model for vision-language tasks. The claim of nearing Opus 4.8 performance is significant, but the experimental status means production readiness is unproven.
