It probably would be called 'deepseek-v4-flash-0731' in API

edit: nope, at least deepseek kept "deepseek-v4-flash" and just updated model underneath. I guess preview is no longer worth serving with that release and you'd have to look through inference provider docs to see if they've updated, yeah..

That's what I mean. On DeepSeek it's now just `deepseek-v4-flash`, while OpenRouter calls it `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`, so now when someone talks about DeepSeek V4 Flash, like in benchmarks, or other inference providers, which version do they actually mean?

The `-0731` style suffix is worse compared to a proper version bump like V4.1.

		What I and my team have been doing in papers is just to refer to the OpenRouter slugs. It upsets reviewers because they will complain it "is not sufficiently clear to a wider audience" but I do agree it's the cleanest approach. Also goes to prove how much power OpenRouter has actually...

Does it still say that it's an anthropic model, when asked? I would guess new post-training has fixed that.

Does Claude still say it's Deepseek, when asked?

How is that important? Maybe it does, so what?

		Not important, just a curiosity. I would expect that kind of knowledge would be pretty well burned into the weights, but what do I know about LLMs. Gemma 4 can answer this question well.
