#10 for 3D scenes · This is the 17 October 2026 snapshot of V4.1 Flash, the image-and-text model DeepSeek serves under its current Flash name. It keeps about a thousand pages in mind, replies up to about 393 pages, thinks first, uses your connected tools and fills in the exact form you give it. Pick it for agents and coding work that include screenshots, and when you want the newest Flash. The earlier DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is the snapshot before this one; V4 Pro 0813 is the larger model for hard reasoning.
R1
by DeepSeekReleased 20 January 2025
DeepSeek R1 is a reasoning model that works through a problem step by step before answering, and it shows you that working in full so you can read it. It takes text and replies in text, keeping about 64 pages in mind with replies up to about 16 pages, which is short next to newer models. Use it for maths, logic puzzles and debugging where seeing the working matters. DeepSeek R1 0528 is the improved version, with a longer memory and the ability to fill in an exact form.
