DeepSeek launches two new flash models, including vision capabilities

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

DeepSeek has released two new models, deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash and deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp:batch, on the OpenRouter platform. The v4.1-flash model is designed for high-volume, cost-sensitive tasks requiring lower latency, similar to Gemini Flash or GPT-4o mini. The vision-capable experimental model, deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp:batch, offers multimodal input at a Flash tier price point, making it suitable for tasks like document parsing and image classification, particularly with its asynchronous batch processing variant.

IMPACT DeepSeek's new flash models offer lower-cost, lower-latency options, potentially pressuring competitors and enabling new use cases for cost-sensitive applications.
