Instructions to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp")

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp", device_map="auto")
