New Deepseek model V4.1-Flash cuts memory needs for AI agents

Deepseek released V4.1-Flash, a multimodal model with 552 billion parameters that cuts KV cache memory to a quarter of its predecessor's requirement, with only 16 billion parameters active per token. On the DeepSWE coding benchmark, V4.1-Flash narrowly beats Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, and the model ships under the MIT license targeting cheaper AI agents.
