The DeepSeek-V4-Flash model, released in late April and refined through May 4, 2026, has become the new industry standard for 'intelligence-per-parameter.' The 284-billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts architecture only activates 13 billion parameters per token during inference, delivering frontier performance at fractional compute cost.
Key Points
284B total parameters with 13B active per token
Mixture-of-Experts architecture optimized for inference efficiency
Refined release on May 4 closes gap with proprietary frontier models
Free to self-host, intensifying open-source pressure on OpenAI and Anthropic
Why It Matters
Sparse MoE models with this efficiency profile are forcing closed labs to justify pricing as open-source eats the floor of inference economics.
