DeepSeek VL
Towards Real-World Vision-Language Understanding
DeepSeek-VL is DeepSeek’s initial vision-language model that anchors their multimodal stack. It enables understanding and generation across visual and textual modalities—meaning it can process an image + a prompt, answer questions about images, caption, classify, or reason about visuals in context. The model is likely used internally as the visual encoder backbone for agent use cases, to ground perception in downstream tasks (e.g. answering questions about a screenshot).
