Strengths

  • Captures most of the larger V4 Pro's agentic capability at a fraction of the cost
  • MIT-licensed sparse MoE with a one-million-token context
  • Teams have dropped it straight into real agentic pipelines

Considerations

  • Still measurably behind the larger V4 Pro variant on coding evaluations
  • Advertised cache-hit pricing only applies when prefixes actually reuse
  • Chinese-hosted routes need a data residency review for some buyers

Price

Open weights (MIT); the deepseek-v4-flash API name now routes to V4.1-Flash at $0.30 input / $1.20 output per 1M tokens peak ($0.15 / $0.60 off-peak)

Shown for reference — price is not part of the score.
