- Current model
- DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, 39.5 on the Intelligence Index, released Sep 10, 2026 ()
- Projected score
- About 47.5 (+8)
- Typical cycle

Why this date
- V3 (Dec 2024) to V4 (Apr 2026) took about 16 months; V4.1 Pro has not even shipped yet
- Bank of America expects V5 in the second half of 2026, but DeepSeek has said nothing and its change log has no V5 entry
- The date is a rough estimate: after V4.1 Pro and V4.2 Flash, around the Lunar New Year window DeepSeek has used before
