DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision

by DeepSeek

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp, announced on August 21, 2026 with open weights following at the end of that month, is DeepSeek's first experimental multimodal model in the V4 family. It extends the DeepSeek-V4-Flash architecture, a sparse mixture-of-experts with 13 billion active parameters, with visual modules added through continued training, bringing the checkpoint to about 305 billion parameters. It keeps the Flash line's selectable reasoning effort, works across a context window of up to one million tokens, and accepts mixed text and image input. On the text side DeepSeek says it holds level with V4 Flash, from agent tasks and reasoning to world knowledge, with 83.9 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 59.3 on DeepSWE, while the multimodal agent benchmarks jump to what the company places close to Claude Opus 4.8: 36.5 on ApexBench, 64.3 on Chartography, and 35.0 on ZeroBench at pass@5. Chart and document understanding, screenshot-driven agents, and workflows that interleave text and images are the natural fits. The weights are open under the MIT license. DeepSeek followed it in September 2026 with V4.1 Flash, which builds visual understanding in from the start and has superseded the experimental build in DeepSeek's own lineup.

Uptime and availability

One of DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision's 2 routes is on the monitoring board, so the figure below is that provider's availability rather than the model's.

100%route uptime, last 30 days
Its other routes aren't measured here yet.

Name a second model in the same request and the gateway tries it on retriable errors, so a busy hour never has to reach your users. Set up a fallback chain.

Measured over the last 30 days from each provider's official status feed via StatusGator. Refreshed hourly. 1 further route is not on the board yet. See uptime for every provider Opper monitors.
