⚡ V4.1-Flash is now live on the DeepSeek API with native multimodal support.
Set your model to deepseek-flash.
🔹 V4-Flash & V4-Flash-Vision-Exp are retired. For compatibility, deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp temporarily route to V4.1-Flash.
🔹 Tests by multiple parties put V4.1-Flash ahead of V4-Pro on performance, cost, speed & total runtime. We’re phasing out V4-Pro.
🔹 Starting at 04:00 UTC on Sept 14, 2026, all deepseek-v4-pro requests will route to V4.1-Flash at V4.1-Flash rates. This will continue until V4.1-Pro launches.

💾 Smaller KV cache. Bigger savings.
Compared with the previous generation, V4.1-Flash’s KV cache needs just:
🔹 1/4 the HBM
🔹 1/8 the SSD storage
Cache-hit charges often account for a large share of agent costs. Compressing the cache cuts those costs significantly.

🧠 Asymmetric architecture. More intelligence, less cost.
🔹 552B-parameter MoE.
🔹 New Causal Encoder–Decoder architecture: just 8B active parameters for input, 16B for output.
🔹 New pre-training methods + larger-scale RL post-training deliver benchmark results ahead of flagship models, including DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp is now live on the DeepSeek API Platform! 🚀
🔹 This experimental multimodal model matches DeepSeek-V4-Flash on text capabilities—including agents, reasoning, and world knowledge.
🔹 On multimodal agent benchmarks, V4-Flash-Vision-Exp makes a major leap over V4-Flash, bringing multimodal agent performance close to Opus-4.8.
Try it with model='deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp'. DeepSeek Harness 0.1.1 was released today with out-of-the-box support for the new model.

🧩 DeepSeek Harness v0.1 is now available in Developer Preview!
🔹 We’re opening it up to developers building agent harnesses worldwide and open-sourcing the codebase in MIT license.
🔹 Powered by the Cordis meta-framework, DeepSeek Harness is an agent harness built around one core idea: Everything is a plugin. Models, tools, skills, sessions, sandboxes, filesystems, loops, orchestration, and UI are ALL implemented as plugins, and can be mixed, matched, replaced, and extended.
