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.
Recraft V4.1 Flash is Recraft's fastest and lowest-cost image model, generating a 1K raster image in about 1.3 seconds with quality close to Recraft V4.1. Built for high-volume generation and rapid iteration, with strong results for photography, portraits, atmospheric scenes, mixed media, and logo concepts. It outputs raster images only and does not support styles.
