DeepSeek drops experimental vision model rivaling Opus
DeepSeek just rolled out DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp on its API platform. The experimental multimodal model retains V4-Flash's text and reasoning chops while closing in on Opus-4.8 on multimodal agent benchmarks. Images cap out at 384 tokens each, and a new Files API lets developers upload once and reuse across calls.
