Description
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.Tencent Hy4 Preview is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model from Tencent, featuring 770B total parameters with 49B activated per token. It is designed for coding agents, complex tool-driven workflows, and professional productivity tasks that require strong planning and reliable execution. Optimized for context continuity and sustained multi-step work, Hy4 Preview is well suited for long-horizon coding, agentic automation, tool orchestration, and complex real-world workflows.
