DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: the exact model, new architecture, and where the low price fits

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is the current deepseek-flash route with 1M context, native vision and scheduled pricing—but old V4 Flash and V4 Pro evidence must stay separate.

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash Official Model Card Benchmarks: Agent Strengths and Harness Boundaries

The official model card shows that DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash is a multimodal MoE with a 552B backbone and 8B (prefill) / 16B (decode) activated per token; with the specified maximum reasoning effort and Agent harness, it scores 90.6 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 74.2 on DeepSWE v1.1, both above DeepSeek-V4-Flash in the table. Those numbers demonstrate the combined performance of the “model + harness + parameters” configuration and cannot be generalized as uniform capability across all clients or ordinary conversational tasks.

Does not support generalizing the model-card figures to ordinary chat, other clients, or different harnesses; the dynamic card was not reopened on 2026-09-20.

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (Max): Task Cost and Net Improvement in Agent Arena

Arena.ai reports a **+4.87%** net improvement for DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (Max) relative to the Arena baseline. The body of the post states a **$0.07** median cost per task, while the detailed table states **$0.06**. The cost should therefore be recorded as an inconsistency in the original post, rather than combined into one unconditionally certain figure.

Evidence
Independent measurement
Boundary
Does not support collapsing the post’s $0.07 and table’s $0.06 into one price or generalizing beyond the undisclosed task set; prompt, tools, and parameters are missing.

Artificial Analysis: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash's Intelligence, Cost, and Hallucination Boundaries

At the `Reasoning, Max Effort` setting, Artificial Analysis gives DeepSeek V4.1 Flash an Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index score of about 40. It is attractive for agent tasks, long-context work, and cost, but its outputs are extremely verbose, and its AA-Omniscience Non-Hallucination Rate is only 4%, so “cheap” cannot be equated directly with reliable.

Evidence
Independent measurement
Boundary
Does not support generalizing the roughly 40 score or 4% non-hallucination rate to every task; this dynamic X/AA snapshot was not reopened on 2026-09-20.
