DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 Uncensored is live

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 Uncensored is now available. It is DeepSeek's fast reasoning model with its refusal behavior removed, and it is the model our coding agent guides use.

What it is good at

It thinks before it answers, and you choose how hard: set reasoning_effort to low, high or max. High is the default. Low keeps simple steps fast and cheap; max is for the hard ones. It handles tool calls well, which makes it a good default for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode.
