Two new smaller, faster LLMs are now available on the [Telnyx Inference API](https://telnyx.com/products/inference): DeepSeek-V4-Flash for cost-efficient high-volume workloads, and Qwen3.8-27B for low-latency routing and classification tasks. Both run on Telnyx-owned GPU infrastructure through the existing OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint, with no new endpoints or SDK updates required.
