DeepSeek has rebuilt the way the models process information under the hood, making them much more efficient – and that efficiency is what actually makes the large context window usable.
In addition, the programming capabilities of the new models have closed the gap to the large frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google.
The model’s authors acknowledge some of V4’s shortcomings, such as lower scores on reasoning benchmarks, and say that V4 “lags state-of-the-art frontier models by approximately three to six months.”
As open-weight models, V4 can run on each user’s own hardware, making the V4 models the most powerful open source models on the market. V4’s high context and token efficiency are particularly important in open source models.
But as with previous DeepSeek models, you shouldn’t ask for it Tiananmen Square.
DeepSeek has redesigned the way the models process information under the hood, making them much more efficient – and this efficiency is what makes the big…
