DeepSeek is running a short V4.1 Flash intermediate API beta. Keep the same base_url and set model to deepseek-v4.1-flash-expires-on-0910. DeepSeek describes a new architecture with native multimodality that is faster and cheaper; billing matches deepseek-v4-flash, about 20 concurrent requests per account, with the test window roughly through Sep 10 (expires-on-0910 in the model id).

SGLang added serving recipes for DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision and DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 on 2×DGX Spark. Flash-Vision has native vision; Flash-0731 supports fp4 and NVIDIA official nvfp4; both run on the b12x kernel library, with docs in the SGLang cookbook.

DeepSeek launched DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp on its API: an experimental multimodal model that matches V4-Flash on text, agents, and reasoning, while jumping close to Claude Opus 4.8 on multimodal agent benchmarks. A free Files API and DeepSeek Harness 0.1.1 landed the same day, with images billed at up to 384 tokens each.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp is live on the API: it matches V4-Flash on text—including agents, reasoning, and world knowledge—while jumping on multimodal agent benchmarks to near Claude Opus 4.8. A free Files API and DeepSeek Harness 0.1.1 ship with it; images bill at V4-Flash rates (up to 384 tokens each) and drop into existing agent frameworks.

DeepSeek launched deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp on its API, maintaining ultra-low V4-Flash pricing while achieving multimodal coding and agent performance approaching Claude Opus 4.8.

DeepSeek opened V4-Flash developer preview with 1M context window and 180 tokens/second inference throughput at $0.02/1M.

DeepSeek launched experimental DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp on its API platform. The company said the model matches DeepSeek-V4-Flash on text capabilities, including agents, reasoning, and world knowledge, while multimodal agent benchmarks jump substantially over V4-Flash and land close to Opus 4.8. Developers call it with model='deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp'. It supports Chat Completions, Messages, and Responses, with mixed text-plus-image input via base64, external URLs, or the Files API. Images are billed at up to 384 tokens each at V4-Flash pricing. DeepSeek Harness 0.1.1 shipped the same day with out-of-the-box support, and a free Files API lets teams upload an image once and reuse it by file_id. For coding agents, the relevant use cases are screenshot-to-fix, visual UI diffs, and tool-using workflows that need to see the page or IDE rather than only the repo.

DeepSeek launched experimental DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp on its API. Text capability—including agents, reasoning, and world knowledge—matches V4-Flash, while multimodal agent benchmarks jump toward Opus 4.8. It supports Chat Completions, Messages, and Responses, with mixed text/image input via base64, URLs, or the new Files API. Images bill at up to 384 tokens each at V4-Flash prices. DeepSeek Harness 0.1.1 ships with out-of-the-box support.
