DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Officially Released, Reducing Demand for HBM and SSDs Compared With Previous Generation

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash model has recently officially released. It is the smallest model in DeepSeek's new model architecture series and features native multimodal visual understanding capabilities. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is a 552B-parameter MoE model and significantly reduces the size of the KV Cache. Compared with the previous generation model, demand for HBM has been reduced to 1/4, and demand for SSDs has been reduced to 1/8. In Agent usage scenarios, cache hit costs often account for a relatively high proportion, and the compression of the KV Cache substantially lowers the usage cost of Agent-type tasks.
