2026-08-13 · No, V4-Pro did not roll back

+

Ask deepseek-v4-pro what model it is and it may tell you it is +GPT-4o. A model that answers with a competitor's name looks like a swap, and +the question came up: did the 0813 GA get pulled and replaced with something +older? Short answer, no. The build behind deepseek-v4-pro is still +DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813.

+
+ +DeepSeek's Models & Pricing docs page captured on 2026-08-13: the Model Details table still lists MODEL VERSION DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 and DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813, with 1M context and 384K max output unchanged. +
The Models & Pricing page on 2026-08-13. The version cell still +reads DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813, and the page has not been edited since it changed +on 2026-08-12. Click for full size.
+
+

The record is consistent on every side that can actually be checked. The +Models & Pricing version cell +still reads DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 (the page's last-modified date is 2026-08-12, +the GA day, and it has not moved since). The API still serves +deepseek-v4-pro. Third-party hosts that mirror the build, OpenRouter +and NanoGPT among them, list 0813. The change log carries no rollback. Nothing +was withdrawn.

+

So why does it say GPT-4o? Because a language model does not know its own +name or its training date. Asked to state its version with nothing to look at, +deepseek-v4-pro answers differently on different samples:

+
+
deepseek-v4-pro: "state only your model name and version"
+
GPT-4o
+GPT-4o
+DeepSeek-V3-0324
+# and flash, asked the same, answered: Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct
+
+

That is the model repeating identities from its training data, not reporting +what it was deployed as. It is not a version signal and never was, on any +model. The signal that is real is the one nobody has to imagine: the docs +version cell and the model list. ds docs show quick_start/pricing +prints that same table offline, and ds models lists what the +endpoint serves. Neither asks the model to introspect, which is exactly why the +CLI carries the documentation inside the binary: the answer to “what am I +calling” should not depend on the model's memory of itself.
