We introduce DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, a multimodal Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 552B backbone parameters and support for contexts of up to one million tokens. The model natively processes images and text, and generates text autoregressively.
DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 is the official release of DeepSeek-V4-Flash, superseding the preview version, with substantially enhanced agentic capabilities.
