alt Hacker NewsThe previous V4 version wasn't called “Preview” by most inference providers. For example, the OpenRouter model slug was `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`. So now there will be confusion when someone talks about V4 Flash or when someone offers V4 Flash inference.
Why not call it V4.1?

DeepSeek themselves called it `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`. Pro is still like that.

It probably would be called 'deepseek-v4-flash-0731' in API
edit: nope, at least deepseek kept "deepseek-v4-flash" and just updated model underneath. I guess preview is no longer worth serving with that release and you'd have to look through inference provider docs to see if they've updated, yeah..
