DeepSeek releases experimental vision model, DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp

DeepSeek has quietly released an experimental vision model, deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp, which was detected on OpenRouter. This new model is part of DeepSeek's fourth-generation lineup and is designed as a speed and cost-optimized variant with multimodal capabilities. While currently experimental, its potential for aggressive pricing, similar to DeepSeek's other 'flash' models, could make it a competitive option for vision tasks against models like GPT-4o mini and Gemini Flash.
