DeepSeek AI is preparing to launch its next generation AI model V4 as early as mid-February, according to a report by a media publication. People familiar with the development said, internal testing shows strong coding performance. Employees believe the model could outperform rivals such as Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s GPT series on coding tasks. V4 has also made notable progress in handling extremely long coding prompts which is seen as a major benefit for developers working on complex software systems.
Based in Hangzhou, DeepSeek has rapidly gained recognition as part of China’s push to build a domestic AI ecosystem and strengthen its chip capabilities. The startup drew global attention after several Silicon Valley executives praised its earlier DeepSeek V3 and DeepSeek R1 models. These endorsements helped position the company as a rising name in the global AI landscape within a short time.
DeepSeek has marketed itself as a low-cost rival to ChatGPT while focusing on performance and accessibility. A news agency noted that the company has faced scrutiny in some countries over security and privacy practices. Despite this anticipation around the V4 model continues to grow as developers and industry watchers look closely at its promised improvements.
The upcoming release reflects the fast pace of innovation among Chinese AI companies and their ambition to compete with established global leaders. With its emphasis on coding strength and long prompt handling V4 could further boost DeepSeek’s profile in the international AI market.
