New in DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash are native image input and asymmetric activation. DeepSeek describes 552 billion backbone parameters, 8 billion active parameters during prefill, 16 billion during decoding, and a 1,000,000-token context window. Reasoning effort can be adjusted more finely than in the original V4-Flash line.

On September 10, 2026, DeepSeek retired the old V4-Flash and V4-Flash-Vision-Exp routes and temporarily redirected them here. The deepseek-flash API name therefore describes the current service rather than the old weights by default.
