I'd love to connect with members of international frontier LLM labs! DM is open. Opinions are my own.
DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp is now live on the DeepSeek API Platform! 🚀
🔹 This experimental multimodal model matches DeepSeek-V4-Flash on text capabilities—including agents, reasoning, and world knowledge.
🔹 On multimodal agent benchmarks, V4-Flash-Vision-Exp makes a major leap over V4-Flash, bringing multimodal agent performance close to Opus-4.8.
Try it with model='deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp'. DeepSeek Harness 0.1.1 was released today with out-of-the-box support for the new model.

new post on harness engineering for AI self-improvement:
It is hard to forecast how much the future of RSI will rely on harnesses. Likely harness engineering will evolve in the direction of self-improvement and enable auto-research, and, in turn, smarter models keeps harnesses simple.
Even when many harness improvement get eventually internalized into core model, the need to specify goals and context will not disappear.
