DeepSeek quietly shipped V4.1-Flash-1017, framed as a minor update to V4.1-flash but with big gains (self-reported): Terminal-Bench 4.0 from 31.2 to 42.3, ProgramBench from 20.3 to 29.1, HLE from 36.8 to 42.6. On DeepSeek's own table it beats GPT-5.6 Sol on DeepSWE (77.0 vs 73.0) and Terminal-Bench (42.3 vs 39.9), while Opus 5 still leads most rows (51.8 on Terminal-Bench). The company also says the model finishes tasks faster with shorter outputs. Open weights, MIT license; independent evals pending.
