Blind test: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash feels like a Pro-tier upgrade, not a minor one
The user says that in a blind A/B test they would have mistaken this Flash release for the new Pro, arguing the 'minor upgrade' label undersells it.

@deepseek_ai is seriously underselling updated DeepSeek-v4.1-Flash-1017 as a "minor-upgrade". In a blind A/B test, I would’ve guessed DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash was the new Pro. But this is STILL Flash !! If this is what a "minor" Flash upgrade feels like, what in the world are they cooking for the next Pro? 👀
