| Item | Delta | Sources | Lab relevance |
|---|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-12B | Confirmed availability and MIT license on Hugging Face. This validates its strategic fit as a mid-size open value candidate. | Hugging Face org feed: deepseek-ai (verified) | This model is now a confirmed candidate to fill the 'mid open value' slot in the reserve, offering a strong alternative or complement to DeepSeek-V3 and potentially Kimi K3 for specific use cases. |

Collection candidates
| id | org | name | priority | reason | approx size | license |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-12B | deepseek-ai | DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-12B | high | New release, confirmed MIT license, strong mid-size open value candidate. Fills a strategic gap identified in the baseline and reserve plan (DeepSeek V4-Flash-0731 as mid open value candidate). | ~24 GiB (fp16) / ~12 GiB (Q4) | MIT |
Lab implications
- Proceed with collection of DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-12B as per the reserve plan's 'mid open value' slot, prioritizing it given its confirmed license and strategic fit.
- Continue to monitor for resolution of the HF gate issue preventing collection of Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct to address the edge micro-agent coverage gap.
- Re-evaluate the reserve's overall capacity and potential for Kimi K3 collection after DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-12B is acquired, considering the soft quota constraints.
