DeepSeek ran V4.1 Flash for 48 hours, then closed the endpoint
Two days. That was the entire life of the DeepSeek V4.1 Flash beta, which opened to a limited group of testers on 9 September with an endpoint scheduled to go offline on 10 September. No model card was published, and no price.
Key Takeaways
- The DeepSeek V4.1 Flash beta opened on 9 September with the endpoint scheduled to close on 10 September, a 48 hour window
- Multimodal input is native to the base model this time, rather than a vision encoder bolted onto a text model as in V4 Flash
- No model card has been published, so audio support is unconfirmed and testers only exercised text and images
