| Summary | DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is the October 17, 2026 snapshot of DeepSeek’s cost-efficient Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model, built on its innovative Causal Encoder-Decoder (CED) architecture. Featuring 552B total parameters with 8B activated for input and 16B for output, it combines efficient inference with native multimodal understanding through jointly trained text and visual representations. Optimized for coding, terminal and computer-use agents, and long-horizon workflows, the model introduces compressed KV caching that reduces cache memory usage to approximately one-quarter of the previous Flash generation. DeepSeek reports that it surpasses V4 Pro in performance, inference speed, and task completion time, making it well suited for cost-efficient autonomous agents, complex software engineering, and long-context analysis. | Perceptron Mk1.5 chat model that accepts audio input. Audio and text input are billed per token. | DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is a cost-efficient sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model in DeepSeek's V4.1 family, optimized for coding, reasoning, and agentic workflows. Despite its efficiency-focused positioning, DeepSeek reports that it surpasses the previous V4 Pro in performance, inference speed, and overall task completion time. The model is particularly strong at long-horizon, multi-step execution, making it well suited for coding agents, complex problem solving, and autonomous workflows that must reliably carry tasks through to completion. |
