DeepSeek ships V4.1-Flash with native vision; builds landing pages for 1/40th of Claude's cost
togethercompute · x · 2026-09-12
DeepSeek officially introduced DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, the smallest model in its new architecture family:
- Native visual understanding
- Designed for higher capability, faster inference and higher throughput, with scaling headroom for larger models in the family
Developer Nutlope benchmarked it against Claude Fable 5 on the same prompt for building a movie-theater landing page: Fable cost $1.21 while V4.1 Flash cost just $2.6 cents — over 40x cheaper at similar quality, which he called "insane at landing pages."
