ME News, April 24 (UTC+8), according to Beating monitoring, after the release of DeepSeek V4, the developer communities in China and the US have shown a coexistence of "technical recognition and consensus on the gap." On the US side, Replit CEO Amjad Masad praised V4's attention compression and long-context efficiency improvements as true architectural innovations. On Reddit and Hacker News, developers responded positively to the open-source 1M context model and MIT license, but most adopted a "test first, talk later" wait-and-see attitude. CFR researcher Chris McGuire pointed out that the V4 report itself acknowledges falling 3 to 6 months behind cutting-edge models. On the Chinese side, V2EX and Zhihu communities focused on V4's coding agent capabilities and low-price strategy. Early feedback indicated that the Pro version is close to the level of Claude Opus 4.6, but there is still a gap in complex deep reasoning tasks. There is high interest in adaptation to Huawei Ascend. In the months before the release, the community had accumulated doubts due to repeated delays, but after the official release, it entered a phase of intensive testing. A common point of focus for both sides is that V4 performs strongly in coding and long-context scenarios, but still lags behind US frontier closed-source models in comprehensive reasoning.
