In related developments, DeepSeek released the preview version of its open-source V4 model, introducing both a Pro version with 1.6 trillion parameters and a Flash version with 284 billion parameters. The maximum context length has been expanded to 1 million tokens, with inference costs in million-token scenarios significantly reduced compared to the V3.2 model. On the day of its release, the model achieved Day 0 adaptation for two domestic chips, Cambricon and Huawei's Ascend, demonstrating deep synergy between domestic large models and homegrown computing power.
Guojin Securities believes that DeepSeek's in-depth collaboration with domestic chip manufacturers in technical pre-research and software-hardware coordination is significant for promoting the synergistic development of the domestic large model software and hardware industry and accelerating the autonomy of the AI computing power ecosystem.
