New default DeepSeek Flash tier (Sep 10, 2026), the smallest model in a new Causal Encoder-Decoder architecture family: 552B total parameters activating 8B (prefill) / 16B (decode) per token, MIT-licensed weights on Hugging Face. Replaces DeepSeek-V4-Flash and V4-Flash-Vision-Exp, which are retired but still routed to this model for compatibility. DeepSeek's own reported numbers (GPQA Diamond 90.9, Terminal-Bench 2.1 90.6, text-only HLE 39.1) are self-measured and not directly comparable to this catalog's Artificial-Analysis-sourced cells. API pricing: $0.30 in / $1.20 out peak, $0.15 in / $0.60 out off-peak (per 1M tokens); off-peak cache-hit input is $0.003.
