What you'll learn

  • DeepSeek V4 Flash beats its own larger Pro model on benchmarks such as Terminal Bench (82.7) and Cyber Gym (76.7).
  • The MIT license lets you download the weights and run the model yourself, without a waitlist or approval.
  • Running it locally works through vLLM or SGLang, both supporting the speculative decoding feature DSpark.
  • DeepSeek recommends temperature 1.0 with top_p 0.95 for agentic tasks and allows up to 384,000 tokens of output at higher reasoning effort.

Frequently asked questions

Why would you pick DeepSeek V4 Flash over the larger Pro model?
On agentic benchmarks such as Terminal Bench, Cyber Gym and Automation Bench, V4 Flash scores higher than the Pro model while using far fewer activated parameters. An agent built on it can move through tasks faster and each task uses less compute.
How do you use DeepSeek V4 Flash for free?
The model is released under the MIT license, which makes its weights open. You download it and run it yourself on your own setup through vLLM or SGLang, with no waitlist or approval needed.
What local setup does DeepSeek recommend for this model?
DeepSeek documents a setup on a single node with four GB300 chips that splits the work using expert parallelism. If you lack that exact hardware, the vLLM and SGLang guides cover other configurations too.
