The rumored February 17 target passed without announcement. On Feb 11, DeepSeek silently upgraded to 1M context and updated the knowledge cutoff to May 2025 — possibly a soft V4 launch. Confirmed architecture: 1T total parameters, manifold-constrained hyper-connections, sparse attention for 1M+ context. Internal benchmarks claim 90% HumanEval, 80%+ SWE-bench. Expected to be self-hostable on dual 4090 or single 5090.
Don't change your stack on leaked benchmarks. The Feb 11 silent upgrade gave you 1M context on DeepSeek today — test it for your use cases. Prepare your LLM abstraction layer for a swap when it officially launches.
