DeepSeek V3 deprecated → DeepSeek V4 Pro

DeepSeek has deprecated DeepSeek V3, the model identified as deepseek-v3 with a 66k context window and 8k max output, and is directing users to DeepSeek V4 Pro, according to the provider's announcement. The deprecation also covers the aliases deepseek-v3.1, deepseek.v3-v1:0, amazon/deepseek.v3-v1:0 and microsoft/deepseek-v3.1, meaning code calling any of those identifiers must migrate. The change matters to developers running DeepSeek V3 in production because existing API calls to the retired model will need to be repointed.
