On 5 September 2024 DeepSeek merged the coder and chat lines into V2.5 and kept this id alive purely so existing integrations would not break. It has named nothing of its own since. DeepSeek has never published a shutdown date for it, and it was not named in the July 2026 retirement notice that took down deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner.",
