DeepSeek V4.1 Flash
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is the compact variant of the DeepSeek V4.1 family, with 552 billion total parameters and 16 billion active parameters per token. The model is released as Open Weights under the MIT license with image and text processing capabilities. Its 1-million-token context window is designed for long agentic workflows, but due to its size requires server infrastructure for local deployment.

Sovereign Risk: HIGH Although DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is released as an Open Weights model under the permissive MIT license, its developer DeepSeek is a China-based company. Chinese jurisdiction carries a high sovereignty and compliance risk, particularly when using cloud services subject to Chinese law.

Key metrics – legend
Score
- Total Score
- Overall score derived from Routine and Reasoning scores. Basis for the fleet rank and tier assignment (Gold / Silver / Bronze / Standard).
- Routine
- Score for standard tasks: code generation, text transformation, structured outputs. Weighted by task complexity.
- Reasoning
- Score for analytical and logical tasks: multi-step problem solving, mathematical reasoning, structured argumentation.
- Rank
- Position in the fleet comparison, sorted by Total Score. Refers to the snapshot at the time of testing.
LLM Judge
- LLM Judge Ø
- Average quality rating by an independent judge model on a scale of 1–5.
- Coverage
- Share of tasks for which a judge rating is available. 100% means all responses were evaluated.
Latency & speed
- Avg. Task Duration
- Average time per task from the first to the last token of the response, measured across all benchmark tasks.
- Token Rate
- Output speed in tokens per second. Relevant for interactive applications and real-time streaming.
- P95 Latency
- 95th percentile of response times — shows outliers. Lower values mean fewer long wait times in edge cases.
Cost
- Cost per 1K
- API price per 1,000 output tokens in US dollars. Basis for cost calculation in production use.
- Benchmark Cost
- Total cost for the complete benchmark run of this model.
