What the evidence says
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash scores 81.1 on LiveBench, averaging its seven task categories equally. Its highest measured category is mathematics (93.3); its lowest is instruction following (70.0). Categories differ in difficulty, so these are test results, not universal strengths or weaknesses.
Our General agent profile produces an Agent Fit score of 78.9 by emphasizing reasoning, instruction following, agentic coding, coding and data analysis. See the exact weights or adjust the profile in the interactive comparison.
How people rated its answers
We have not confirmed an Arena result for this exact version and thinking setting, so we leave Evidence Consensus blank. A result for another version or setting could be misleading.
API features to verify
The catalog lists tool-calling support and image input. These are declared features, not evaluations of tool accuracy or visual understanding.
Weights are publicly available for this model family. Review the exact model license and serving requirements before deployment. Hosted API costs below are not self-hosting estimates.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash API pricing
Input is what you send to the model; output is what it produces, including charged thinking tokens. Prices are per million tokens, the small pieces of text the model processes.
Direct/source price observed 2026-10-15; catalog offer rechecked 2026-10-15. Older observations remain dated until verified again.
At the baseline of 1,000 calls, 10,000 input tokens and 2,000 billed output tokens per call, the text API estimate is $1.94. Reasoning belongs in billed output. Caching, tools, retries, long-context premiums, service tiers, hosting and taxes are excluded.
