DeepSeek releases V4.1-Flash-1017, an update it says offers "stronger benchmark performance, faster task completion, and shorter outputs" than its predecessor (Saritha Rai/Bloomberg)
The update is live on DeepSeek’s website, app and API, with training tailored to coding tools.
DeepSeek says V4.1-Flash-1017 was optimized for DeepSeek Harness, Tencent CodeBuddy and WorkBuddy. The Harness team says that training improved task performance while reducing runtime and output-token costs. Its Harness 0.2.1 release supports the new model. The performance and efficiency gains are claims from DeepSeek and the tool’s developers.
