DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 hits 244 tok/s, peaking near 300
Hands-on speed reaches 244 tok/s and nearly 300 at peak, faster than GPT-6.1 Sol's Ultrafast mode with intelligence near GPT-5.6 Sol; it adds built-in web research, is free on the official harness until Oct 31, and shows clear coding and 3D gains.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is hitting 244 tokens per second, that's incredible! It's even faster than GPT 6.1 Sol in Ultrafast mode while offering intelligence comparable to GPT 5.6 Sol, what a time to be following AI! I still can't understand how they can offer this level of quality and speed at such a low price, and from my first tests I've seen speeds reaching almost 300 tokens per second. It now has its own built in web research capabilities and is completely free to use through DeepSeek's official harness until October 31, The improvements in both coding and 3D are also really noticeable compared to previous versions, and after everything I've tested so far, I have no doubt this is a frontier level model, I still can't believe how quickly DeepSeek is improving!
