- DeepSeek unveiled an experimental multimodal version of its V4 Flash model that can understand visual prompts.
- DeepSeek said the experimental model nears the performance of Anthropic's Opus 4.8 on multimodal agentic tests.
Why it matters: DeepSeek's claim of approaching Opus 4.8 — a top-tier Anthropic model — on multimodal agentic benchmarks positions the experimental V4 Flash as a direct competitive benchmark, though the 'experimental' label signals the performance claim is not yet production-validated.
