Two new models appear on OpenRouter, possibly DeepSeek V4 variants

Two new models have appeared on OpenRouter that may be trial versions of DeepSeek V4. The models are named healer-alpha and hunter-alpha, with descriptions suggesting one is a Lite version and the other appears to be a full-featured model.

Model Specifications

The full version reportedly has 1TB of parameters and 1M of context, which matches leaked information about DeepSeek V4. The Lite version is described as a lighter variant of the same model family.

Initial Testing Results

A user conducted roleplay tests to evaluate filtering levels and performance:

• Both models performed impressively in roleplay scenarios
• Neither model declined any messages during testing
• The Lite version is noticeably faster than the full version
• The full version is slower but still responsive
• Both models generate the same amount of tokens in less than half the time compared to GLM 5.0
• The Lite version is slightly weaker in performance but not significantly
• Both models maintain character consistency and handle "spicy" content well

The models are currently in alpha phase, which may explain the lack of message filtering observed during testing. The community is discussing whether these are indeed DeepSeek V4 variants and sharing additional testing results.
