552B params but only 8B active: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash's wild efficiency numbers
Scobleizer · x · 2026-09-10
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is a 552B-parameter model activating only 8B params on input and 16B on output.
- 1/4 the HBM and 1/8 the SSD footprint vs last gen
- Priced at $0.15 input / $0.60 output per 1M tokens
- Beats Sol on quite a few benchmarks
The poster argues DeepSeek has the greatest infra engineers.
