Unconfirmed. A widely shared X post on Oct 21 says DeepSeek V4.1 Pro is coming soon, with a promotional graphic but no source, date or specs. DeepSeek has not announced a release date, and there is no Hugging Face repo or API model name for V4.1 Pro yet. Background: DeepSeek's Sept 10 V4.1-Flash notice originally planned to route deepseek-v4-pro requests to V4.1-Flash from Sept 14 "until V4.1-Pro launches", but its change log later reversed that, saying it will keep providing V4 Pro API service after Sept 14 with billing unchanged.
