The throughline today isn’t just better models—it’s faster, cheaper ways to build agents without giving up control. DeepSeek’s DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 is now live via its website, app, and API, posting a 77.0 on DeepSWE v1.1, but the headline move is the opening of its Search and Fetch APIs to all developers.
