DeepSeek has released DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731, a 304-billion-parameter model described as having substantially enhanced agentic capabilities.
According to Artificial Analysis, the model is ranked ahead of MiniMax M3—a 428-billion-parameter model—on its Intelligence Index.
Pricing for the model is listed at $0.14 per million input tokens and $0.27 per million output tokens.
User testing via OpenRouter showed that increasing the reasoning effort from default to high produced a marked improvement in generated image quality, transitioning from a flawed pelican illustration to a coherent scene of a pelican riding a bicycle.
