Abstract:
Last night, some netizens discovered that DeepSeek has started to use new large model fingerprints. They speculated that a new model will be released soon. This time it may be larger than V4.1 Pro. The code of DeepSeek V5 appeared directly in the official library.
Some new codes have appeared in the official code base of DeepSeek Harness,
including DeepSeek-V5, V5-open, V5-next, etc.
, it seems to be a new generation of large models.
What do these codes mean? You can't just make big news when you see V5. Ordinary people who don't understand code can just ask the fat fish themselves. The explanation given is that the mechanism of the new model is ready, but the current v5 is a placeholder.
The meaning of this design is:
DeepSeek can change /models on the server side to open v5, and the client does not need to release the version.
deepseek-v5-open takes the "no version threshold" option, and DeepSeek-v5-next takes the "client must be upgraded" option, which covers both distribution paths.To put it bluntly, DeepSeek officials have made some advance preparations for the release of the DeepSeek V5 series of large models, and now use placeholders to occupy the positions. After future releases, the server only needs to change /models to release them, and the client does not need to release a new version to support them.
The current code does not mean that DeepSeek will release the V5 version of the large model soon, but it can prove that it is getting closer and has begun to pave the way for release.
DeepSeek has always been obsessed with the naming of large models. The V4.1 Flash released on September 17 has completely changed its architecture and is no longer comparable to the previous V4. As a result, the naming still follows the 4.0 series. The version released in 1017 has also been greatly improved, and it has not become V4.2.
Considering the not-so-good memories of the previous V4 Pro official version, it would be a good idea for DeepSeek to directly change the new generation flagship model to DeepSeek V5 Pro. The Flash version has just been released not long ago, but the release of V5 Pro will not be soon.
It should not be available this month, it will be November.
If it is mid-November, then DeepSeek V5 Pro and V5 Flash can be updated at the same time, and the naming will not be so confusing.
