Insider sources reveal that Liang Wenfeng, the visionary founder of DeepSeek, has announced that the company's new-generation flagship large model, DeepSeek V4, is slated for release in late April. Recently, DeepSeek unveiled a novel interaction mode on its web platform, fueling market speculation about the imminent launch of V4. It is understood that V4 will boast a staggering trillion-parameter scale and a context window capable of handling millions of elements. Moreover, it will, for the first time, achieve deep compatibility with domestic chips, such as Huawei's Ascend series.

In anticipation of the substantial computational demands that will follow the release of V4, industry giants like Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent have already secured pre-orders for hundreds of thousands of new-generation AI computing chips. Notably, the prices of these new AI chips have surged by approximately 20% in recent times. As of the time of reporting, DeepSeek has yet to issue an official response regarding these developments.
