DeepSeek Opens V4.1 Flash Multimodal Beta

π‘Test a faster, cheaper multimodal model before DeepSeek's limited beta ends.
β‘ 30-Second TL;DR
What Changed
V4.1 Flash is available in a limited-time beta rather than as a formal release.
Why It Matters
If the claimed cost and speed improvements hold, V4.1 Flash could make multimodal inference more practical for latency-sensitive applications. The limited beta gives developers an opportunity to evaluate the model before committing to production workloads.
What To Do Next
Run a small evaluation through the DeepSeek API, comparing V4.1 Flash's latency, multimodal accuracy, and per-request cost with your current model.
