01What DeepSeek V4 Is and How It Works
DeepSeek V4 is a large artificial intelligence model with 1.6 trillion parameters. Think of each parameter like a tiny worker inside the AI brain. 1.6 trillion workers together make one of the biggest AI brains ever built.
This AI can read almost 1 million words at once. That is like reading 10 thick books in a single go and remembering every page. It uses a method called mixture of experts.
Instead of waking up all 1.6 trillion workers for every question, it only wakes up the small group needed for each task. This makes it faster and cheaper to run.
02Main Features of DeepSeek V4
DeepSeek V4 comes with two main features that set it apart. First is its huge memory. It can handle a 1 million token context window.
This means you can feed it a whole pile of notes, reports, or books and it will remember all of it.
Second is the mixture-of-experts design. This lets the AI work efficiently by only using the experts it needs. Two versions are available:
- V4 Pro – the big brain for hard thinking and coding.
- V4 Flash – smaller and faster for everyday tasks.
Both versions are open weight under the MIT license. Anyone can download and use them for free.
03How to Get Started with DeepSeek V4
- Go to the DeepSeek website or a platform that hosts the model.
- Choose the version you need: V4 Pro for complex tasks, V4 Flash for simpler work.
- Download the model or access it via an API. It is free under the MIT license.
- Set up your environment. You will need enough computing power to run a 1.6 trillion parameter model.
- Paste in your data. For beginners, start with one messy pile of notes and ask it to organize them.
- Run the prompt and review the output. Adjust your inputs to get better results over time.
04How to Use DeepSeek V4: Real Examples from the Episode
In the episode, Julian Goldie showed several ways to use DeepSeek V4. One example was creating a landing page for the AI Profit Boardroom. He provided a specific prompt:
'Design a new landing page for the AI Profit Boardroom that converts visitors into members. Show the amazing value of AI automation. Explain the benefits of the community, including the daily tutorials, weekly coaching calls, and prompt library.
Use one bold headline, three short benefit sections, one true story about a real automation win, and a clear button that says join now.'
The AI returned a full landing page copy within seconds. You can then paste that copy directly into your website.
Another use is turning one big idea into a week of content. Feed the AI your idea and ask it to create posts for every platform you use. One session gives you five pieces of content.
For business owners, you can feed in your standard operating procedures, customer questions, and past content. Ask the AI to find gaps and suggest fixes. It will spot things you might have missed.
05Results and Comparisons from the Episode
DeepSeek V4 Pro achieved a score of 80.6% on a major coding test. This put it within a fraction of a percentage point of Anthropic's top coding model. But V4 Pro did it at roughly one-seventh the cost.
The episode highlighted that DeepSeek has come a long way. A year ago, their earlier model R1 was a surprise because it could compete with big labs. Now, V4 is catching up on quality and pulling ahead on cost.
The preview version is already available, but the official release is expected around mid-July 2026. The final version will add new rules for handling traffic during busy hours.
06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid with DeepSeek V4
Start small if you are a beginner. Do not try to feed it a huge project right away. Open the model and paste in one messy pile of notes.
Ask it to organize them into a simple plan. This shows you what the AI can do.
One limit to know: the current version is a preview, not the final product. The official version arrives in mid-2026 and will include new rate limits. If you build a workflow now, you may need to adjust later.
Avoid the mistake of using the tool only once. The businesses moving fastest are those testing weekly, not just one time. Make it a habit to run new prompts and explore different use cases.
07Who DeepSeek V4 Is For and Why It Matters
DeepSeek V4 is for business owners, marketers, and anyone who works with large amounts of text. It helps you save hours each week by reading all your notes, messages, and ideas in one sitting.
If you run a business, you can use the long memory to store your procedures and customer questions. Then ask the AI to find gaps and suggest fixes. This gives you insights without manual effort.
For marketers, it turns one big idea into multiple pieces of content across platforms. One session produces several outputs.
This model matters because it levels the playing field. AI used to be locked behind huge budgets. Now, with open weights and low cost, regular business owners can use the same power as large companies.
