The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
DeepSeek's[3][5] news post is dated April 24, 2026 and opens "DeepSeek-V4 Preview is officially live & open-sourced"; its API changelog entry for 2026-04-24 says "The DeepSeek API now supports V4-Pro and V4-Flash", and OpenRouter listed both models the same day.
DeepSeek's[1][3][5] model card: V4-Pro 1.6T parameters (49B activated) and V4-Flash 284B (13B), 1M-token context, MIT license, a hybrid of Compressed Sparse and Heavily Compressed Attention that needs 27% of V3.2's single-token FLOPs and 10% of its KV cache at 1M tokens, 32T+ pre-training tokens and the Pro-Max benchmark tables.
DeepSeek's[1][5] own changelog: 2026-04-24 V4 launch with deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner routed to V4-Flash until 2026-07-24, then the 31 July V4-Flash update, the 13 August V4-Pro GA with low/high/max thinking effort and peak/off-peak pricing from 16 August, and V4.1-Flash on 10 September.
The V4 technical report (DeepSeek[1][3][5]-AI, 319 authors): hybrid attention, manifold-constrained hyper-connections and the Muon optimizer, over 32T pre-training tokens, and the claim that V4-Pro-Max redefines the state of the art for open models.
DeepSeek's[1][3] current price table: V4-Pro-0813 at $0.66 off-peak and $1.32 peak per million cache-miss input tokens and $1.98 / $3.96 output, 1M context and 384K maximum output; shows how far the launch prices have since moved.
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
