## Introduction

**DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017** is a minor update to [**DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash**](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash), delivering substantial improvements across reasoning, coding, agentic tasks, and visual benchmarks. Alongside these gains, the model reduces task execution time and output length, enabling users to complete tasks faster and at lower cost and advancing the performance–cost Pareto frontier across multiple agent harnesses.

## Prompt Encoding

This release does not include a Jinja-format chat template. The [`encoding`](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017/blob/main/encoding/README.md) folder contains a self-contained Python reference implementation (`encoding.py`) with test cases for multi-turn conversations, tool calling, thinking mode, numeric reasoning effort, mid-conversation system messages, and interleaved image content.

For production use, we additionally release [deepseek-recipe](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-recipe), a set of Rust libraries with Python bindings that provides the same prompt format as a maintained, protocol-aware toolkit. It converts Messages, Chat Completions, and Responses API requests into the Conversation format, encodes them into DeepSeek V4 and V4.1 prompts or token IDs, and parses model output back into complete or streamed responses — covering thinking, tool calls, images, and generation settings. Model inference, tool execution, and HTTP transport are left to the caller.

## Minimal Inference

Please refer to the [`inference`](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017/blob/main/inference/README.md) folder for instructions on weight conversion and running inference locally.

**Recommended sampling parameters:**

| Parameter | Value |
| --- | --- |
| temperature | 1.0 |
| top\_p | 1.0 |
| context\_window | 1M tokens |
| max\_tokens | ≥ 256K |
