DeepSeek-V4-Pro / V4-Flash
DeepSeekDeepSeek-V4-Pro and V4-Flash are open-weight mixture-of-experts language models with a one-million-token context window. V4-Pro has 1.6T total parameters (49B active) and V4-Flash has 284B (13B active). Both are published on Hugging Face by DeepSeek.
Declares both instruct checkpoints, V4-Pro and V4-Flash, and sums their downloads for adoption. The deepseek record in base_pretrained declares the same two alongside the V3 and base checkpoints.
Openness
3 high confidence- weights
- open(MIT, on HF)
- data
- closed
- code
- partial(inference/serving
- license
- MIT(OSI-style permissive, no use restrictions)
V4-Flash ships MIT-licensed weights, matching the V4-Pro flagship, but the training data stays closed and only inference and serving code is public. That keeps it an open-weights release rather than open source, the same class as V4-Pro.

Hugging Face model API: "gated":false and the tag "license:mit"; repository files include "inference/model.py" and "inference/generate.py" and "encoding/encoding_dsv4.py" but no training code, data or dataset files.

README License section: "This repository and the model weights are licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE)."; front matter "license: mit". Searched the body for training data release, dataset and training code: none; it describes the post-training pipeline and points only to the "encoding" and "inference" folders for running the model.
Adoption
4 high confidenceAdoption sums Hugging Face downloads across the two declared checkpoints, V4-Pro and V4-Flash, as the family rule requires; V4-Flash draws roughly twice V4-Pro's downloads.

Capability
4 medium confidenceV4-Flash scores near the frontier on DeepSeek's own benchmarks (MMLU-Pro 86.2, LiveCodeBench 91.6), figures reported on its Hugging Face model card. It is deliberately the lighter, faster sibling of the higher-scoring V4-Pro flagship, so Flash trails Pro rather than matching it.
