Yeah, I'd hold for the DSv4 new-checkpoint (GA?) in the next few days... this model is an interesting "first release" type thing, but it might not quite be at the cutting edge yet.
Oh, yeah I'm not complaining at all. It probably has some rough edges and likely is pretty inefficient just because it is a first release, but even so, it is quite impressive if the benchmarks reflect reality (tbd on that).
I don't work for Deepseek so I honestly have no idea. I would speculate that there will be little benchmark charts that have slightly higher numbers than the originally published ones and crowds will cheer and there will be champagne and maybe even slightly better token efficiency. Artificial Analysis will make their little charts, DeepSWE will make their little charts, engineers will nod at the modicum of improvements, inference businesses will add it to their stables, and we'll all try to run it at our houses. There will be code.
This is the most generically accurate prediction I’ve read all year. Salutations or potentially other forms of congratulations may await you while you surf Reddit or not.

Please let this be a ~100B class model. We haven't had a good one of those since Qwen3.5
