As of November 2, 2026, our review of the official website, API changelog, and model table found no V5 release announcement. No V5 date, price, or specification is confirmed here.
FOR: Readers following the next DeepSeek releaseWhat the official sources currently say
The latest entry we reviewed in the official change log is the 17 October update to DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017. The current API table continues to list Flash and V4 Pro. These are the published options to use when making a decision today.
The name of this independent website is not a product announcement. A model string in a test, a screenshot, or a prediction is not enough to establish an official release.
What remains unknown
We do not have a verified launch date, model specification, API identifier, or V5 rate card. Those fields should remain unknown rather than being filled with a prediction.
When official information changes, this page will retain its address and distinguish the announcement date from the date we checked it. We will link the underlying announcement rather than a chain of reposts.
What you can do in the meantime
Choose from the currently documented models, measure a few representative tasks, and keep your model and price assumptions easy to update. That gives you a baseline for comparing a future release.
If you are new to DeepSeek, start with the official service and our practical guides. There is no need to wait for an unconfirmed model to learn the workflow.
