DeepSeek launches V4.1-Flash, smallest model in new family with native vision
solyarisoftware · x · 2026-09-10
DeepSeek officially introduced DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, the smallest model in its new architecture family:
- Native visual understanding built in, even at small scale
- Designed for higher capability, faster inference, and higher throughput, with a path to scale to larger models
The thread also includes developer commentary arguing the model's quality makes Anthropic's reported $2T IPO valuation look absurd, framing it as why incumbents dislike open-source AI.
