DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 model nears frontier AI intelligence for local use

The DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 model, which can be run locally on consumer hardware, has achieved an intelligence score of 50. This score is comparable to the top frontier models from March 2026, which had an intelligence index score of 51. This development suggests that locally runnable models are rapidly approaching the capabilities of advanced, previously inaccessible AI systems. AI

IMPACT Local AI models are rapidly closing the gap with frontier models, potentially democratizing advanced AI capabilities.
