🚀 Introducing DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash: smarter, faster, more efficient.
🔹 Introducing the smallest model in our new architecture family, with native visual understanding.
🔹 Designed for greater capability, faster inference, higher throughput, and scaling to larger models.
1/6
mixture-of-experts — A model built from many specialist sub-networks where only a few activate per token, giving big-model capability at small-model running cost.
multimodal — A model that works with more than text — reading images, audio, or video, and sometimes generating them too.
KV cache — The memory a model keeps about text it has already read, so generating each new token doesn't require reprocessing the whole conversation.
AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
Why it matters
Smaller KV cacheThe memory a model keeps about text it has already read, so generating each new token doesn't require reprocessing the whole conversation.Full definition → directly lowers cache-hit costs, which dominate AI agentAn AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.Full definition → inference bills, and the model is live now at deepseek-flash with native vision support.
