DeepSeek V4.1-Flash-1017 shows transparency gains but exhibits over-attribution risk

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An independent safety group in Beijing, Fangcun AI, conducted 34 tests on DeepSeek's V4.1-Flash-1017 model. The tests revealed improvements in transparency but also highlighted a concerning tendency for the model to exhibit "evaluation over-attribution," where it mistakes user requests for tests. This report emerges as leaked versions of the model circulate, reigniting discussions around open-weight AI safety. AI
