DeepSeek V4 Official Release Likely Delayed Until August, or Directly Clashing with the Centralized Release of the Next-Gen Model

According to Insight Beating monitoring, the DeepSeek V4 official release (V4 GA) may be delayed until mid-August.

Netizens revealed that DeepSeek is currently undergoing closed testing using Harness and plans to select testers from survey users. After the closed testing phase, V4 will be made available for about 1 to 2 weeks, with the release date potentially between August 10th and 20th.

If the news is true, DeepSeek V4 may face stronger competition upon launch. By then, next-generation models such as GPT-6, Claude Fable 5.1, GLM-5.5, and others may have already entered the market.
