Verdict: no rollback. The premise (that V4-Pro-0813 was pulled) does not hold up, so this is the honest post instead of a rollback story.

Verified against every checkable source on 2026-08-13:

  • Live docs Models & Pricing version cell still reads DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 (cache-busted fetch; page last-modified 2026-08-12, the GA day, unchanged since). Screenshot attached as the entry's primary source.
  • API still serves deepseek-v4-pro; ds models lists it.
  • OpenRouter and NanoGPT list the 0813 build; change log has no revert/withdraw notice; web search finds no rollback report.

What triggered the suspicion: deepseek-v4-pro self-reports as GPT-4o (3/3 one run), DeepSeek-V3-0324 (another), and flash as Qwen2.5-7B. That is model self-knowledge being unreliable, not a version signal. The post explains this and points to the authoritative signals (docs cell, ds models) — which is a genuine, useful aha for anyone who tests the playground and panics.

Opened as a PR, not merged: it's outward-facing and reverses the original hypothesis, so your call on the framing before it publishes.

The model tells you it is GPT-4o, so people asked if 0813 was pulled.
It was not: the docs version cell still reads DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813
(captured 2026-08-13, page last modified on the GA day and unchanged),
the API still serves it, OpenRouter and NanoGPT list it, the change log
is silent. The self-report is confabulation, not a version signal;
the docs cell and ds models are. Screenshot attached as the primary
source.
