DeepSeek V4.1 Flash just went live on NEAR AI Cloud.
Not all models are private, if you are looking for fully private inference look for Private TEE models listed in the catalog.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is live on NEAR AI Cloud.
This version is better at coding, agentic tasks and reasoning, and finishes tasks faster with shorter outputs.
$0.30/M input, $1.20/M output.
Try it free in the playground: near.ai/models/deepseek/deep…
