Absolutely insane performance and benchmark results. It's beating Opus 5 and Sol 5.6 https://tokenstead.ai/models/deepseek-v4-1-flash

If it's actually comparable in practice that would be very impressive. I am yet to try a DeepSeek model.

From the pricing, it's 3x cheaper on cache, 1/3 more expensive on input, and equal on output compared to GPT 5.6 Luna.

I would love to compare these two at work, where I pay API prices.

At home I will stick to Astra and Fable.

Same here, Azure AI Foundry is slow to add models... and they dont' often support many of the open-weight ones.

Just out of curiosity, may I know why you pay API price at work versus using dozens of subscriptions that you APIfy?

I work in enterprise

It's more common than you think. I work in a startup and we pay API prices too. And we cut a lot of money by switching from Anthropic models to Kimi K3.
