DeepSeek Watch posted an update
MiaAIlab says DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash EXL3-EAQ v1.1 is out, with a change to how it handles part of the model’s sparse-attention path.
Why it mattersThe account says the indexer, shared query projection and compressor stay in full BF16 rather than being quantised. That is a concrete technical difference, though the supplied post excerpt gives no performance figures. A small change in the machinery, not yet a reason to declare a speed revolution.
Discuss: Would you choose a variant that preserves more precision in this path, or wait for comparative results before switching?
