I was also so annoyed by this. It makes communication all around difficult. Why don't they simply call it 4.1 flash?

Yes, and even if they seem to have updated endpoints in place they should assign the service a version number.

So whoever is using DeepSeek V4 flash gets a massive upgrade without having to change any config.

That's an absolutely terrible idea for any non-trivial project consuming it.

Wasn't it stated as being in "preview" prior to this?

If implementing non-trivial tasks on a preview model surely there is some anticipation of it not being the final stable release?

Unless you mean they should have appended a "preview" suffix on the endpoint for extra good measure?

It was. People are overreacting.

My guess would be the version number tracks the architecture change, not the weight change.

They want to be the next Google it seems
