Florian Brand points out that DeepSeek's habit of shipping multiple V3 updates in quick succession suggests the lab will stick to its internal rhythm for V4.1 rather than chasing rival announcements from teams like Kimi or GLM.

how many V3 iterations did we get? safe to say they were the first
Obviously DeepSeek tends to ignore these dynamics, but I wish to see how much ground 4.1 covers in one step. Their objective, after all, was explicitly "fast iterations", and it's been 7 weeks since V4-Preview.
The lab already cycled through Base V3, V3.1, V3.1-Terminus, V3.2-Exp, and V3.2 across roughly a year, each time releasing when its own benchmarks and goals aligned.
Community chatter floats a possible June window, yet no official DeepSeek statement pins down features, pricing, or an exact date, leaving the next move open.
@xeophon I mean they won't be matching anyone else's pace V4.1 comes out when they feel ready, not when Kimi K2.7 or GLM 5.2 drop. they may make some nod to the Fable situation but I doubt even that

@xeophon Forgot Minimax weights

@xeophon @teortaxesTex Not many name updates but they got R1, R1-0528, 3.1, 3.1 Terminus, 3.2 Exp, 3.2, 3.2 Speciale followed by a long silence till V4.
