DeepSeek has just released Flash 4.1, which is smarter and faster than the previous Flash V4.
Some users say the performance of 4.1 falls between Flash and Pro v4. It can reach over 400 tokens per second, while the earlier version was only around 100 tokens per second. This version also adds image‑understanding capabilities. The model is already accessible via API at the same price.
I've been using OpenAI for a long time, so I haven't tried DeepSeek yet 😅. I'll give it a look in a few days.
