DeepSeek V4.1-Flash lands on WorkBuddy with a free two-week trial
DeepSeek V4.1-Flash goes live on WorkBuddy — and it's free for two weeks
If you've been waiting for a reason to test out DeepSeek's latest model, here's a good one: WorkBuddy has officially added DeepSeek V4.1-Flash to its platform, and it's kicking off a two-week free trial. No barriers, no hidden costs — just a chance to see what the new model can do.
What's new under the hood
The V4.1-Flash isn't just a minor bump. It's now part of the DeepSeek API and comes with native multimodal support. That means it can handle more than just text — think images, and likely more down the line. For developers, switching over is a breeze: just tweak the model setting to the right identifier, and you're in.

Out with the old
As the new version settles in, DeepSeek is also cleaning house. Older models like V4-Flash and V4-Flash-Vision-Exp have been officially retired. They served their purpose during the transition, but now it's time to move on.
Why it matters
For anyone building with AI, this is a low-risk way to explore the latest capabilities. The free trial removes the usual cost barrier, so you can experiment, prototype, and see if V4.1-Flash fits your project. And since it's multimodal, it opens doors for apps that need to understand images alongside text.
Key Points
- DeepSeek V4.1-Flash is now available on WorkBuddy.
- A two-week free trial is open to all users.
- The model features native multimodal support and is part of the DeepSeek API.
- Older versions (V4-Flash, V4-Flash-Vision-Exp) have been retired.

So, if you're a developer or just curious about the latest in AI, head over to WorkBuddy and give it a spin. The clock is ticking on that free trial.
