Expected around February 17 (Lunar New Year), following the same holiday-release playbook as R1's market-shaking January 2025 debut. Coding-focused with 1M+ token context windows, Engram conditional memory, designed to run on consumer hardware (dual RTX 4090s or single RTX 5090). Internal benchmarks reportedly outperform Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o on coding tasks. DeepSeek has maintained operational silence.
