Intro

DeepSeek V4 FlashDeepSeek V4 Flash keeps the V4 family’s 1M-token context window but uses a lighter MoE configuration, commonly described as 284B total parameters with 13B activated parameters. The emphasis is throughput: fast inference, lower cost per call, and production workloads that still need long-context handling. It is the better fit when the task volume is high and the workload benefits from V4-style long-context architecture without always requiring the deepest reasoning tier.
