DeepSeek's anticipated V4 large language model remains unreleased as of mid-April 2026, with founder Liang Wenfeng confirming a late April target in a recent ITHome interview, following spotted test interfaces hinting at vision and expert modes. This follows delays from earlier rumors of February and March launches, amid competitive pressure from U.S. labs like OpenAI's o1 series and Anthropic's Claude in coding benchmarks where DeepSeek excels cost-effectively. Optimized for Chinese hardware such as Huawei Ascend chips, V4 rumors point to a 1-trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts architecture with native multimodality (text, image, video) and 1M-token context, positioning it to challenge global AI dominance via open weights. Traders should watch DeepSeek's official channels for announcement, as proximity to month-end could trigger rapid resolution shifts.

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.

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.

0x65070BE91...DeepSeek's anticipated V4 large language model remains unreleased as of mid-April 2026, with founder Liang Wenfeng confirming a late April target in a recent ITHome interview, following spotted test interfaces hinting at vision and expert modes. This follows delays from earlier rumors of February and March launches, amid competitive pressure from U.S. labs like OpenAI's o1 series and Anthropic's Claude in coding benchmarks where DeepSeek excels cost-effectively. Optimized for Chinese hardware such as Huawei Ascend chips, V4 rumors point to a 1-trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts architecture with native multimodality (text, image, video) and 1M-token context, positioning it to challenge global AI dominance via open weights. Traders should watch DeepSeek's official channels for announcement, as proximity to month-end could trigger rapid resolution shifts.
