Closest models by score

Similar positions on shared benchmark leaderboards. Smaller gaps are closer.

18.3 percentile-point gap

24 of 39 shared benchmark comparisons

19.8 percentile-point gap

27 of 39 shared benchmark comparisons

How similarity is measured

Mean absolute gap in percentile positions on shared benchmark settings; lower is closer. At least 60% overlap is required, with a minimum of three when available. Independent evaluations are used when there are at least three; otherwise published report comparisons are used. Repeated model observations within one setting are averaged before ranking. Writing-style traits and composite indices are excluded. This describes similarity, not an overall quality ranking.

POST-TRAINING / SOURCE DISCLOSURE

What the DeepSeek V4.1 Flash / Flash 1017 report says

The Flash technical report describes a supervised starting stage, reinforcement learning across task domains, then distillation from an ensemble of teachers. It emphasizes synthesized tasks and scalable interactive environments.

  • Supervised fine-tuning
  • Multi-domain reinforcement learning
  • Full-vocabulary on-policy distillation
  • Concatenated routing replay for asynchronous rollouts

The report documents Flash. The 1017 card calls that release a minor update but does not supply a separate complete recipe; these stages should not be assumed to describe every DeepSeek V4.1 variant.
