Common questions

What is DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp good for?

Agent work that needs image input alongside text. DeepSeek says it matches V4 Flash on text tasks.

When is DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp not a good fit?

New work: DeepSeek retired it and now routes the model name to V4.1 Flash, which takes images natively. The weights were never published, so it cannot be self-hosted.

Can I self-host DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp?

No. DeepSeek does not publish the weights; DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp is available only through hosted APIs.
