Chinese artificial intelligence startup Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Co. Ltd. has released an updated version of its V4.1-Flash model, designated DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017. SiliconANGLE reported that the release arrives a little over five weeks after the company launched the original V4.1-Flash model. [1]

A model card posted on Hugging Face describes the release as a minor update that reduces task execution time and output length, according to SiliconANGLE. DeepSeek did not specify the exact performance increase or time savings achieved by the update. [1]

The updated model builds on the original V4.1-Flash release, which was launched as the smallest model in a new architecture family from the company. SiliconANGLE reported that low pricing was the key selling point during the initial launch of the model family in September. [1]
