DeepSeek tests vision in grayscale rollout

Hot take: this looks less like a polished launch and more like DeepSeek quietly moving multimodal support from research into product.

• –“Grayscale testing” usually means phased access, so this feature is likely gated, unstable, or region-specific.
• –If the rollout is real, vision could arrive before a formal announcement or wider model refresh.
• –DeepSeek already has a vision-language research line, so this may be productization rather than a brand-new capability.
• –The screenshot is a signal, not confirmation; wait for an official changelog before treating it as fully launched.
