DeepSeek V4 Flash is a downloadable text model with a permissive licence, built for long-document work where the bill matters more than peak quality. Its measured quality is weak on the LiveBench boards and mid-pack on the Arena boards, so treat it as a cheap workhorse rather than a quality leader.
