DeepSeek v4.1 Flash is twice as big but not twice as smart; local users better off with v4 Flash

QuixiAI argues DeepSeek v4.1 Flash doubles the size of v4 Flash without doubling intelligence. For on-prem and local deployments, DeepSeek v4 Flash, Qwen 3.8 27B, or GLM 5.3 Flash remain better picks — v4.1 Flash only makes sense in a data center.
