DeepSeek's V4.1 Flash-1017 release centers on token efficiency rather than new capabilities, with the company claiming over 50% fewer tokens in most scenarios while keeping API pricing unchanged. These figures are self-reported, and the cost comparisons against unnamed rival models lack independent benchmarks, so readers evaluating total cost of ownership should run their own workloads before drawing conclusions.
DeepSeek新模型Token消耗降超五成
DeepSeek正式推出大模型新版本V4.1 Flash-1017。在国产人工智能大模型普遍处于迭代关键期的当下,该版本率先完成升级,整体性能实现显著跃升。 此前已有公开数据显示其技术指标,此次DeepSeek更首次自主发布帕累托前沿曲线,直观呈现模型在效率与成本维度的综合表现。V4.1 Flash-1017在此曲线中达到行业领先水平:单位任务综合成本仅为Fable、Astra等同类模型的百分之一至二十分之一,性价比优势达四五十倍以上。本次发布的1017版本虽维持原有API价格体系,但在Token使用效率方面完成深度重构——通过任务感知型压缩、动态上下文裁剪及自适应解码策略,显著降低各类型请求的实际Token消耗。实测表明,多数场景下Token用量较前版下降逾50%,相应TCO水平亦将同步迎来新一轮实质性下探。(新浪财经)
