DeepSeek-v4-flash-vision-exp Model Supports Image Input for Analysis
Key points
- DeepSeek-v4-flash-vision-exp model accepts images with text.
- Supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP image formats.
- Images can be provided via Base64, external URL, or Files API.
- Uses OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions format for image input.
Multimodal Capabilities Introduced
The DeepSeek-v4-flash-vision-exp model has been updated to support vision capabilities, allowing it to process images in conjunction with text prompts. This functionality enables the model to perform tasks such as image description, text extraction from screenshots, and chart analysis.
Supported Image Formats and Input Methods
The model is compatible with common image formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. The format is determined from the file content itself, rather than the file name or declared MIME type. Users can provide images through three primary methods: Base64-encoded inline images, publicly accessible external URLs, or by referencing files uploaded via the Files API. All methods utilize the standard OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions format.
Integration Details
For Base64-encoded images, the data is embedded directly in the request, contributing to a 48 MiB request body limit. External image URLs must be at most 8192 characters, with image files not exceeding 32 MiB and a 60-second download limit. These integration options provide flexibility for developers to incorporate visual data into their applications using the DeepSeek API.
