    DeepSeek V4.1 Flash lands on Workers AI: 552B total parameters, only 8B active per token for input-heavy agents

    DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is now available on Cloudflare Workers AI. The multimodal Mixture-of-Experts model has a 552B-parameter backbone but activates only 8B parameters per token during prefill and 16B during decode, which keeps input-heavy agentic workloads fast and low-cost. The 1017 release improves reasoning, coding, agentic tasks and visual benchmarks over the prior Flash version and completes tasks with shorter outputs, with image-plus-text requests, reasoning on by default, multi-turn function calling and a 1,048,576-token context window.

    DeepSeek folds vision into pretraining: V4.1 Flash snapshot ships with KV cache cut to a quarter of the prior generation

    DeepSeek released the October 17, 2026 snapshot of V4.1 Flash, served under the deepseek-flash API model name. It is the company's first sparse mixture-of-experts model built on its Causal Encoder-Decoder architecture, activating 8B parameters on input and 16B on output from a 552B backbone, with image understanding trained jointly with text from the start of pretraining rather than added afterward. Compressed KV caching cuts cache memory to roughly a quarter of the previous Flash generation, and DeepSeek reports it exceeds V4 Pro on performance, speed and task completion time.

    DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 lands on AI Gateway with steadier terminal and whole-repo coding and faster, shorter agent runs

    DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is now available on AI Gateway as a minor update to DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, improving reasoning, coding, agentic tasks and image understanding. Coding gains appear in terminal work and in building and editing whole repositories, agentic gains in multi-step automation, and with images the model reads charts and handles visual reasoning more accurately when it can call tools. It also finishes tasks faster and with shorter outputs than the previous snapshot, so agent runs tend to take less time and use fewer output tokens.
