Why we picked it

This update directly addresses a key cost factor for developers using AI agents, making the model more economical for deployment.

DeepSeek AI released V4.1-Flash, a version of its AI model that reduces the KV cache's memory requirements. The new version needs just 1/4 the HBM and 1/8 the SSD storage compared to the previous generation. This compression cuts costs for agent operations, which often account for a large share of expenses.
