Three reasons DeepSeek\'s new V4 model matters: high performance, low cost and Chinese AI chips

Chinese AI company DeepSeek unveiled its next flagship model, V4, stepping up its push into the open-source AI market. The model expands long-context handling, improves price competitiveness and highlights optimisation for Chinese-made chips. DeepSeek released two versions, V4-Pro and V4-Flash, with web, app and API access. It also touted benchmark performance and resource reductions versus its prior model. V4 is its first model optimised for Huawei Ascend chips, though analysts say a full shift away from Nvidia is unlikely yet.
