Release2026-08-31

NVIDIA published a version of DeepSeek's V4-Pro model rebuilt to use its own compressed number format, NVFP4, for faster running on Blackwell B200 graphics chips. Benchmark scores across reasoning, coding and tool-use tests are within about a point of the original in both directions. It runs only on the SGLang serving engine, and DeepSeek's built-in speed-up module was left untested in this release.
