    Overview

    DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp is the first experimental multimodal model in the DeepSeek-V4 family, released under the MIT license in September 2026. It adds a vision encoder and aligner to the DeepSeek-V4-Flash architecture, and the model card reports substantial improvements on multimodal agent benchmarks over the text-only V4-Flash-0731 while keeping comparable text-agent performance. The repository ships FP8 weights, the tokenizer, a prompt encoding reference and a minimal PyTorch inference implementation. For a retrieval pipeline it fits the step where an agent has to read a screenshot, chart or document image and act on it, rather than the embedding step.

    Architecture

    DeepSeek-V4-Flash mixture-of-experts language model extended with a vision encoder and aligner. The reference implementation in the repository covers the vision encoder and aligner, DFlash attention, MoE, Hyper-Connections and the DSpark forward path. Weights are published in FP8; the safetensors index totals about 304.6B parameters. Active parameter count per token is not stated on the model card.

    Mixpeek SDK Integration

    // No extractor parameter takes a Hugging Face model id (checked against
    // GET /v1/discovery/extractors, which returns 13), so DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp runs
    // on your side and the output is upserted through POST
    // /v1/namespaces/{namespace_id}/documents/upsert. On Enterprise the other
    // path is to upload the weights instead: POST /v1/namespaces/{id}/models
    // accepts the huggingface format and a custom plugin loads them.
    const res = await fetch(
      "https://api.mixpeek.com/v1/namespaces/ns_your_namespace/documents/upsert",
      {
        method: "POST",

          documents: [
            {
              document_id: "asset-00412",
              // The model produces text, so it lands in payload. Give the
              // collection a text vector index and embed that text to make it
              // searchable rather than only filterable.
              payload: { extracted_text: modelOutput, source_key: "archive/2026/asset-00412" },
              vectors: { "multimodal-embedding": embeddingOfModelOutput },
            },
          ],
        }),
      },
    );
    
    // Managed alternative, if this exact model is not the requirement:
    // universal_extractor@v1 runs google/gemini-embedding-2
    // (3072-d) over a bucket, with no inference of your own.

    Capabilities

    • Image plus text input with text output, including screenshots, charts and documents
    • Multimodal agent tasks: the card reports ApexBench and Agents' Last Exam gains over the text-only V4-Flash
    • Text agent capability comparable to DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 on Terminal Bench 2.1 and Toolathlon
    • MIT license with FP8 weights and a minimal PyTorch reference implementation

    Use Cases on Mixpeek

    Agents that read a chart or dashboard screenshot and answer with numbers pulled from it
    Document-image understanding inside an automation pipeline, where the output is upserted as searchable text
    Evaluating a multimodal agent stack against an open-weight model before committing to a hosted one
