Was the release of deepseek v4 flash planned to take spotlight against 5.6 luna?

Id figured since they first emailed people about api price changes coming mid july then delayed the v4 flash release to late july, I wonder if they delayed it for the sake of stealing spotlight from other companies? Then that means deepseek v4 pro will likely be released to take spotlight when another model by the competition is announced? I think the likely case is when qwen 3.8 max is released on huggingface. Alternatively when GLM is gonna be released. Or likely to shame on gemini 3.5 pro if it ever becomes official? submitted by /u/Saifl [link] [comments]
