Minor changes to the name, such as 'DeepSeek V4.1', or other names for a model generally expected to be called V4, will count for the purpose of this market.
The model must be accessible without individual vetting or invitation — free or paid, via API or product. Open, non-selective waitlists count. Closed betas, invite-only access, researcher programs, A/B tests, and anonymous benchmark appearances do not. Country-level bans do not prevent resolution.

I’m writing to confirm that DeepSeek V4 has officially launched and meets all resolution criteria ahead of the March 1st deadline.
On February 17, 2026 (aligned with the Lunar New Year), DeepSeek released V4 to the public. It is now generally accessible without any individual vetting or invitation-only requirements:
Product & API: The model is live on the DeepSeek Chat web/mobile interface and via the official API using the deepseek-v4 identifier.
Accessibility: Both free and paid tiers can access the model immediately, fulfilling the 'open, non-selective' requirement.
Identification: The model is explicitly named 'DeepSeek V4', matching the primary name expected by this market.
Given that the model is no longer in a closed beta or limited benchmark phase, this market should now resolve to YES. Thank you for keeping this updated
