Overview
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is the October 17 snapshot of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, generally available. It has a 1,048,576-token context window, accepts images alongside text, supports multi-turn tool calling (including `tool_choice: "required"`) and streams its replies.
It reasons by default at `high`. Send `reasoning_effort: "none"` to switch thinking off for the fastest replies: in our tests the first token arrived in about 0.25 to 0.6 seconds. Every other value is sent as-is; upstream runs `minimal` as `low` and `medium` and `xhigh` as `high`, and `max` is also accepted. Reasoning tokens bill as output tokens and count toward `max_tokens`; when you omit `max_tokens` we send 16,384.
Send images as base64 data URIs in the standard `image_url` content part; `https://` image URLs are fetched and inlined for you.

Technical Details
- Context window: 1,048,576 tokens
- Reasoning on by default (high); reasoning_effort none switches it off
- Reasoning tokens are billed as output tokens and count toward max_tokens (16,384 sent when omitted)
- Tool calling via OpenAI-compatible tools and tool_choice, including required
- Text and image input; images as base64 data URIs (https URLs are inlined for you)
Strengths
- Very large 1M context in a single request
- Reasoning can be switched off for fast replies
- Image input plus reliable tool calling
Limitations
- Reasoning on by default, so set reasoning_effort none when latency matters
- Reasoning shares the max_tokens budget: raise max_tokens or lower the effort
- Images must be sent inline as base64 (https URLs are fetched for you)
- Paid plans only
