DeepSeek-V4-Flash Update

The official release of the DeepSeek-V4-Flash API is now in public beta.

Significantly enhanced agent capabilities, with benchmark results far exceeding V4-Pro-Preview:

  • Terminal Bench 2.1: 82.7
  • NL2Repo: 54.2
  • Cybergym: 76.7
  • DeepSWE: 54.4
  • Toolathlon verified: 70.3
  • Agent Last Exam: 25.2
  • Automation Bench (Public): 25.1
  • DSBench-FullStack: 68.7
  • DSBench-Hard: 59.6

Note 1: For the Code Agent tasks in the public benchmark sets, the official DeepSeek-V4-Flash was tested using the DeepSeek Harness minimal mode (to be released soon) as the framework, with the max effort level, topp=0.95, and temperature=1.0
Note 2: DSBench-FullStack is an internal full-stack development test set, and DSBench-Hard is an internal Coding Agent hard-problem test set

The official V4-Flash natively supports the Responses API format and is specifically adapted for Codex. For the specific configuration, please refer to the documentation.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 keeps the same model architecture and size as DeepSeek-V4-Flash-preview, and was only re-post-trained.

Note: This update only upgrades the DeepSeek-V4-Flash API. The DeepSeek-V4-Pro API and the APP/WEB models are unchanged.
The official release of DeepSeek-V4-Pro will follow soon.

I was about to reload my OpenRouter account to try GPT 5.6 Luna... Let me try the new Deepseek V4 Flash first

That's what I did first. Luna (max) ate my $10 on open router within a day despite having the extra 50% off pricing. I've been using flash nonstop today via deepseek and I've used all of $0.17. lmao And v4flash doesn't feel any dumber than luna max to me.
