DeepSeek-V4 (CSA/HCA attention, mHC, Muon)

DeepSeek · 24 April 2026

1.6T-parameter V4-Pro (49B active) and 284B V4-Flash (13B active) with 1M-token context; Pro uses 27% of V3.2's inference FLOPs and 10% of its KV cache.

Hybrid compressed-sparse and heavily-compressed attention for million-token context, mHC residuals and the Muon optimiser, trained on over 32T tokens. Context length of 1M is the default across DeepSeek's services; open weights.
