alt Hacker NewsI beg you DeepSeek just name it 4.1, you are not going to run out of numbers. While we're at it why don't you also append the git commit hash to the name as well

well, I think it is easier for the developers, we don't have to change the model name everytime. deepseek also does not have resource to serve 2 different v4 pro versions.
I heard on the "China Talk" podcast talking about China and exports of open weight models they often do this because under Chinese law, they have to submit each new public model release to a government department for "validation", and if they keep the version the same, they don't need to re-submit it.
