What it costs to get this score

Published API price against the public score. The x-axis uses a log scale; the dashed path marks models that are not beaten by a cheaper, higher-scoring option. Price uses average of published input and output rates.

How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 ranks #35 of 226 on the public leaderboard with a score of 65.67/100. Its source-verified position is #24 of 87.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is a open weight model with a 1M context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

Updated October 17, 2026: DeepSeek upgraded the `deepseek-flash` API model, the web chat and the app to DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017, with the calling method and pricing unchanged, and published MIT-licensed 1017 weights on Hugging Face. DeepSeek calls it a minor update to V4.1 Flash with shorter outputs and faster task execution. The legacy `deepseek-v4-flash` and `deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp` IDs are served by 1017 at the Flash price (https://api-docs.deepseek.com/updates, https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing). Released September 10, 2026 as the smallest model in DeepSeek's new Causal Encoder-Decoder architecture family: 552B backbone parameters, 8B activated per token during prefill and 16B during decode, native image-and-text input, a 1M-token context window, and MIT-licensed weights on Hugging Face. The DeepSeek API serves it as `deepseek-flash` with thinking and non-thinking modes, tool calls, the Responses and Anthropic formats, and vision input. DeepSeek retired V4 Flash and V4 Flash Vision Exp the same day; the legacy `deepseek-v4-flash` and `deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp` IDs temporarily route here. DeepSeek's September 10, 2026 announcement also said `deepseek-v4-pro` requests would route to V4.1 Flash at V4.1 Flash rates from 04:00 UTC on September 14, 2026 until V4.1 Pro launches. DeepSeek's pricing page, read September 17, 2026, says V4 Pro API service continues after September 14, 2026 with the billing method unchanged, and that DeepSeek will give notice of any change; the September 10 post had not been edited when read the same day (https://api-docs.deepseek.com/news/news260910, https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing).

Its explicit predecessor is DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731. 31 of 686 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Coding at #18, while its lowest eligible position is Knowledge at #36. particularly well-suited for software development and code generation tasks.

Last updated October 19, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.

Questions

How does DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 perform overall in AI benchmarks?

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 ranks #35 out of 226 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 65.67/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 31 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 good for knowledge and understanding?

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 ranks #36 out of 186 eligible models for knowledge and understanding, with a public category score of 65.2/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 good for coding and programming?

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 ranks #18 out of 151 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 60.9/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 good for mathematics?

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for mathematics, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 good for reasoning and logic?

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for reasoning and logic, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 ranks #24 out of 130 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 61.7/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 good for multimodal and grounded tasks?

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for multimodal and grounded tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 open source?

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is an open-weight model from DeepSeek. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.

Does DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 currently has 44 source-displayable rows across 686 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017?

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 has a documented context window of 1M. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
