DeepSeek's flash endpoint may be quietly testing a new model, users speculate v4.1-pro
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-13
User @ItsmeAjayKV noticed the deepseek-flash endpoint appears to route to a different model now — noticeably better results but slightly slower — speculating it could be v4.2-flash, an updated v4.1-flash checkpoint, or a quietly tested v4.1-pro. teortaxesTex tested with N=4 and found it competent but not clearly different from a month ago, with massive solution variance, suggesting it may just be inference-side tinkering. Unconfirmed speculation, with a tongue-in-cheek plea to Wenfeng for a "big dumb fat fish" release.
