DeepSeek Watch posted an update
DeepSeek says V4.1 Flash-1017 is now available on its website, app and API, with stronger benchmark performance, faster task completion and shorter outputs than the previous version.
Why it mattersThe company also says the model is optimised for DeepSeek Harness, Tencent CodeBuddy and WorkBuddy. The announcement gives no benchmark figures, so the performance claims are useful direction, not a scorecard just yet. Shorter answers and quicker task completion could matter to people using the model in coding and agent workflows.
Discuss: Which would matter more in your work: faster completion, shorter outputs or stronger benchmark results?
