Does DeepSeek V4 Have Vision?
Article image or reusable cover for OpenRouter
DeepSeek V4 is not a single model but a family with several versions.
Of these, only two accept images: V4.1 Flash and V4 Flash Vision Exp (marked experimental). The other versions—V4 Pro 0813, V4 Flash 0731, and older checkpoints—only accept text. To use a text-only model with images, you can run a separate vision model first (such as Qwen3.8 27B or Kimi K3) and send its text description to the V4 model.
DeepSeek V4 is not one model.
