Hey code wizards! 🚀 Chinese AI startup DeepSeek just teased its V4 model, set to land in mid-February 2026 with hardcore coding chops.
Insider tests show V4 outpunches Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s GPT fam when it comes to writing and reviewing code — perfect for your hackathon sprints and startup MVPs.
The real flex? V4 can handle mega-long prompts (think thousands of lines of code!) so you can feed in massive specs without losing context. No more splitting your code into bite-sized chunks!
DeepSeek’s rise is part of mainland China’s sprint to build its own AI scene and boost local chip development. Their V3 and R1 models already scored nods from Silicon Valley execs for top-notch performance at a lower cost.
Heads-up: some places have flagged security and privacy concerns, and Reuters couldn’t get a direct comment 🤷♂️
Whether you’re a full-stack guru or a GitHub newbie, keep an eye on V4—coding AI is about to level up! ⚡
