Changed this week: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 entered the release radar as served, open-weights (Hugging Face, 2026-10-23).2026-10-23
Picked by rule from 35 tracked pieces: the lab's own post, the most shared, a field report, the latest.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (Max) is a 552B parameter Mixture of Experts model with 16B active parameters released under the MIT license.
The 2 picks above, plus these 23. Top is the radar's score: discussion, source authority and the lab's own posts, fading with age.
Live hosted endpoints, cheapest first, USD per million tokens. Ties break on output price, then provider name.
4 providers with a live price, from $0.30 to $0.30 per million input tokens; the median is $0.30. One dot per provider, cheapest in teal.
Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.
Widely served (5 API providers); heavily run locally (122 quantized builds).
Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 458 GB at INT4, 916 GB at FP8, 1.83 TB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.
Teal is the weights (2026-10-17), amber triangles are 10 dated articles (each links to it).
161 derivatives on the Hub. Which build to run, by runtime: the most downloaded in each class.
From the Hugging Face model tree; quantized builds in teal, fine-tunes, merges and adapters in greys.
Everything else, folded: the full tables, every source.
Labels are evidence, not verdicts: measured a third-party leaderboard row for this model; author-reported a number the model author published in the card or eval files; structural a deterministic signal from the name, config or chat template, or a decision-model estimate. Each chip links to its source. All use cases.
