A new version of DeepSeek, known as DeepSeek V4, has been released, with reports suggesting it offers near state-of-the-art intelligence at a lower cost than some of its competitors. The AI model is being compared to other models such as GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.6, and Gemini 3.1, with some outlets indicating it has achieved disruptive wins over these models. The initial reception of DeepSeek V4 is unclear, with some reviews indicating it may be a huge success, while others suggest it could be a big flop.
