DeepSeek V4 Flash is a large language model from DeepSeek, a Chinese AI lab. DeepSeek's site lists DeepSeek-V4 among its open-sourced frontier models, alongside DeepSeek-R1. The "Flash" name suggests a smaller, cheaper variant within the V4 family; the provided material does not give architecture, parameter counts or benchmark figures.
A YouTube creator (Matthew Berman) cited it as an open-weights model priced at about 18 cents per million output tokens. He said DeepSeek has a larger token share than Anthropic (25.2% vs 24.5%) but only 2.8% of spend, which points to very low per-token pricing.
It can be accessed through DeepSeek's chat service and its API. Details such as context length, licence and exact pricing were not in the scraped pages and should be checked on DeepSeek's official documentation and model card.
