[AINews] DeepSeek v4.1-Flash: 763B-P8B-D16B novel causal Encoder–Decoder architecture with vision marks the Return of the Whale

DeepSeek released V4.1-Flash, an open-weight 763B-parameter model with a novel causal encoder-decoder architecture, 1M context, vision input, and MIT license.

DeepSeek launched V4.1-Flash, an open-weight MIT-licensed model using a novel causal encoder-decoder architecture with 763B total parameters and asymmetric active parameters: 8B for prefill and 16B for decode. It supports 1M-token context and text+image input, priced at $0.30 per 1M input and $1.20 per 1M output tokens with a 50% off-peak discount. Artificial Analysis scored it 40 on its Intelligence Index, above DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813, and Vals ranked it the #1 open-weight model ahead of Kimi K3. Baseten shipped day-0 support and Ollama began rolling it out to paid subscribers.

deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash — new model trending #28 on Hugging Face

DeepSeek releases DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, a 552B-parameter multimodal MoE model with 1M-token context and KV cache cut to 890 bytes per token.

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash is a multimodal Mixture-of-Experts model with a 552B-parameter backbone that activates 8B parameters per token during prefill and 16B during decode. It uses a Causal Encoder-Decoder architecture, Compressed Sparse Attention 2, and FP4 KV caching to reduce the global KV cache footprint to 890 bytes per token, roughly one quarter of DeepSeek-V4-Flash. The model was trained from scratch on 45T tokens with context extended to 1M tokens, includes an Engram conditional-memory module (196B parameters), and is released under the MIT license. Post-training uses SFT, RL, and on-policy distillation with large-scale automated synthesis of agentic tasks and a controllable reasoning effort setting from 1 to 100.

New Deepseek model V4.1-Flash cuts memory needs for AI agents

DeepSeek released V4.1-Flash, a 552B-parameter open-weight model cutting KV cache needs to a quarter of its predecessor for cheaper million-token AI agents.

DeepSeek released V4.1-Flash, a multimodal model with 552 billion total parameters and 1 million-token context, trained from scratch on 45 trillion tokens of text and images. The model reduces KV cache footprint to about a quarter of DeepSeek-V4-Flash in fast GPU memory and one-eighth offloaded, and 437x smaller per token than DeepSeek-V1, via an encoder/decoder split, 8-16B active parameters per token, and FP4 cache storage. It scores 74.2% on DeepSWE v1.1, narrowly beating Anthropic Opus 5 and OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, with gains attributed to data and RL scaling rather than new algorithms. Weights are on Hugging Face under MIT license, also served via API at V4-Flash prices.

DeepSeek AI Released DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash with 1M Context, FP4 KV Cache, and Cross-Layer Attention Reuse

DeepSeek released open-weight V4.1-Flash, a 552B MoE model with 1M context and FP4 KV cache, beating Opus-5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on agent benchmarks.

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash is a multimodal Mixture-of-Experts model with a 552B-parameter backbone plus 196B Engram parameters, activating 8B parameters at prefill and 16B at decode, with a 1M-token context window. It introduces a causal encoder-decoder design, Compressed Sparse Attention 2, and FP4 (E2M1) KV cache quantization, cutting global KV cache to 890 bytes per token, about 1/4 of V4-Flash and 437x smaller than V1. Pre-training covered 45T multimodal tokens; the MIT-licensed weights ship on Hugging Face with vLLM and SGLang support. It scores 90.6 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 74.2 on DeepSWE v1.1, ahead of Opus-5 and GPT-5.6 Sol.

DeepSeek launching v4.1 flash cheaper and more capable than v4 pro

DeepSeek will launch V4.1 Flash around September 10, 2026, claiming it outperforms V4 Pro on performance, cost, and speed while routing Pro traffic to it.

DeepSeek announced V4.1 Flash, launching around September 10, 2026, stating it surpasses V4 Pro across performance, cost, speed, and task completion time. After launch and before V4.1 Pro ships, all Pro requests will be routed to Flash and billed at Flash pricing. Off-peak prices are $0.003 for input cache hits, $0.15 for cache misses, and $0.60 for output, with peak-hour rates doubled.

nex-agi/Nex-N2.5-Pro — new model trending #30 on Hugging Face

Nex-AGI launches Nex-N2.5 agentic model family (mini/Pro/Max), with Max built on a 1.6-trillion-parameter MoE foundation.

Nex-AGI introduced Nex-N2.5, a next-generation family of agentic models in three sizes (mini, Pro, Max) focused on long-horizon agentic tasks including computer use, web browsing, and autonomous program execution. Nex-N2.5-Max is built on a 1.6-trillion-parameter text-only Mixture-of-Experts foundation, marking the company's first complete post-training effort at trillion-parameter scale. Weights will be released open-source on Hugging Face and ModelScope, with hosted access via OpenRouter. Benchmark comparisons against Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6 Sol, Kimi-K3, GLM-5.3, DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813, and Qwen3.8-Max show competitive scores on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and SWE-Bench Pro, though weights were listed as "coming soon" at publication.
