DeepSeek V4, the anticipated trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language model from Chinese AI lab DeepSeek, remains unreleased as of April 11, 2026, fueling trader skepticism after multiple delays from an initial mid-February target tied to Lunar New Year. Hardware setbacks with Huawei Ascend chips during training—part of China's de-NVIDIA push—pushed timelines, with a brief V4 Lite test version appearing in March but lacking full multimodal capabilities like vision and expert modes. Recent internal confirmation from founder Liang Wenfeng points to a late April rollout, optimized for domestic chips with 1 million-token context and Engram memory architecture under Apache 2.0 open-source licensing. Competitive pressure from Qwen3 and Kimi K2 has tempered expectations, while independent benchmarks loom as key resolution catalysts.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the next DeepSeek V model is made available to the general public by April 15, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No."
Intermediate versions (e.g., DeepSeek-V3.5) will not count; however, versions such as DeepSeek V4 or V5 would count.
The "next DeepSeek V model" refers to the next major release in the DeepSeek V series, explicitly named as such or clearly positioned as a successor to DeepSeek-V3.
Only releases representing a core version progression in the DeepSeek V series, “clearly positioned as a successor to DeepSeek-V3,” will qualify. Other models, such as derivative models (e.g., "V4-Lite," "V4-Mini"), task-specialized models, R-series reasoning models, and experimental or preview releases (e.g., "V4-Exp," "V4-Preview"), that are not positioned as the new V flagship model, will not qualify.
For this market to resolve to "Yes," the next DeepSeek V model must be launched and publicly accessible, including via open beta or open rolling waitlist signups. A closed beta or any form of private access will not suffice. The release must be clearly defined and publicly announced by DeepSeek as being accessible to the general public.
If a qualifying model is made publicly accessible and explicitly labeled with the relevant version name within the company’s official website, this will qualify as “publicly announced”. Labeling errors, placeholder text, or version names displayed on the website that do not correspond to a model that is actually accessible to the general public under the rules will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from DeepSeek, with additional verification from a consensus of credible reporting.This market will resolve to "Yes" if the next DeepSeek V model is made available to the general public by April 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET.

A closed beta or any form of private access will not suffice. The release must be clearly defined and publicly announced by DeepSeek as being accessible to the general public.
If a qualifying model is made publicly accessible and explicitly labeled with the relevant version name within the company’s official website, this will qualify as “publicly announced”. Labeling errors, placeholder text, or version names displayed on the website that do not correspond to a model that is actually accessible to the general public under the rules will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from DeepSeek, with additional verification from a consensus of credible reporting.

0x65070BE91...DeepSeek V4, the anticipated trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language model from Chinese AI lab DeepSeek, remains unreleased as of April 11, 2026, fueling trader skepticism after multiple delays from an initial mid-February target tied to Lunar New Year. Hardware setbacks with Huawei Ascend chips during training—part of China's de-NVIDIA push—pushed timelines, with a brief V4 Lite test version appearing in March but lacking full multimodal capabilities like vision and expert modes. Recent internal confirmation from founder Liang Wenfeng points to a late April rollout, optimized for domestic chips with 1 million-token context and Engram memory architecture under Apache 2.0 open-source licensing. Competitive pressure from Qwen3 and Kimi K2 has tempered expectations, while independent benchmarks loom as key resolution catalysts.
