DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 (on OpenRouter)
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 (on OpenRouter) The latest DeepSeek Pro model is now available, via API only. I had to link to OpenRouter because DeepSeek don't have any obvious announcement page for their new model. I haven't been able to confirm if they plan to release the open weights, but given the weights are available for both April's deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro and July's deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 it seems likely. Update : the weights are now available on Hugging Face, 1.7T parameters, 893 GB. Interestingly I got very different looking pelicans for the three different reasoning levels of low, medium, and high. I've not noticed this kind of difference from any other model: Low: Medium: High: In terms of benchmarks... as far as I can tell those were released to the Official DeepSeek WeChat Group, then copied and pasted into a post on Reddit which was deleted by the moderators for being "low-effort", then copied into this ASCII-art table on Hacker News .

v0.32.10
What's Changed Models that don't set a repeat_penalty now default to 1.0 (off) instead of 1.1, matching other engines and speeding up speculative decoding; set a per-model parameter if an older model repeats itself. Faster prefill on NVFP4 MLX models with a global scale, about 7–8% on Qwen3.6 and Muse Glimmer. Fixed blob verification being skipped when an OCI manifest's config and layer share a digest. New Contributors @vigneshakaviki made their first contribution in #15504 Full Changelog : v0.32.8...v0.32.10-rc1
