    "excerpt": "Logo of DeepSeek Photo: VCG Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek has released DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017, an updated AI model promising stronger benchmark performance, faster task completion, and shorter outputs than the previous version while lowering usage costs. DeepSeek unveiled V4.1-Flash-1017 on Saturday. The new model is an upgraded version of V4.1-Flash, which debuted last month, and is designed to improve performance in reasoning, coding, and AI agent capabilities. DeepSeek said that the latest model completes tasks faster and generates shorter responses. By reducing task running time and output length while improving performance, the model helps users work faster and at a lower cost. The company said that the model's capabilities in game development and 3D modeling have improved. DeepSeek said that the new model shows improvements in reasoning, programming, agent tasks and vision benchmarks. The company's own evaluations suggest the model outperformed several leading Western competitors in selected tests. According to the company, the updated model beat GPT 5.6 Sol. V4.1-Flash-1017 scored 77.0 on the software development benchmark DeepSWE v1.1, compared with 74.0 for Anthropic's Claude Opus 5, and 73.0 for OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol. In the AutomationBench workflow automation test, the model scored 60.5, ahead of Opus 5's 50.3. The company noted that the model's capabilities have...",
