so the question is: how do i get it
MagicZhang@reddit (OP)
Grayscale testing = Phased Rollout
We might see DeepSeek with Vision capabilities sooner than later

Sheesh, v4 was impressive enough, but now...
Minute_Attempt3063@reddit
V4.1: vision support
size: 1.6T
/s

I couldn't even get structural output to work with Deepseek. I wonder how this is gonna work.
AnomalyNexus@reddit
What’s the thinking behind greyscale? Just to compress amount of input ?
MagicZhang@reddit (OP)
Nope, it’s a common Chinese tech term for “phased rollout”
AnomalyNexus@reddit
Wow that’s quite a translation gap
MagicZhang@reddit (OP)
Yeah, the stated rationale is that
Old version = black New version = white Controlled rollout = gray
Which kinda makes sense I guess
ElementNumber6@reddit
Agreed. Gradient Testing would make a lot more sense.
And yes, I will take credit for that if people start using it now.

The vodka is good but the meat is rotten.

why is the red "flash" at that position? isn't that the eyebrow?
ElementNumber6@reddit
I think it's blushing?
Tall-Ad-7742@reddit
xD it's flattered by the compliments

So far it describes my images considerably better than GPT 5.5, Opus 4.7, Gemini 3.1 Pro and Kimi 2.6, which might seem odd, but haven't found a single image where it got anything wrong yet.

DeepSeek adding Vision is pretty interesting, especially if they manage to nail the structural output this time. I tried messing with earlier versions and the results were kinda hit or miss, so if V4-Flash fixes that, it could be a game changer. Curious how well it’ll handle more complex images tho, sometimes these grayscale tests feel more like a teaser than real progress.

This is probably Deepseek V4-Flash that they're testing. Which means hopefully we'll have a May release for the proper releases of V4-Pro and V4-Flash

Here’s the image of some users getting access to Vision
