DeepSeek released its V4 Flash Vision Exp model, which is being compared against Google's Gemini 3.7 Flash.[^1]

Following the DeepSeek launch, B.AI provided sitewide free access to Tencent Hy3, DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp, and Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5.[^2]

In the comparison, DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp achieved 9/9 accuracy but took an average of 16.8 seconds and cost $0.0039, while Gemini 3.7 Flash achieved 9/9 accuracy in 7.2 seconds for $0.0122.[^7]
