Introduction

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 is the official release of DeepSeek-V4-Flash, superseding the preview version, with substantially enhanced agentic capabilities. It has the same model structure as DeepSeek-V4-Flash-DSpark, i.e. it comes with a speculative decoding module attached.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 outperforms DeepSeek-V4-Pro (Preview) on benchmarks listed below despite its far smaller activated parameter count, and is broadly competitive with the strongest proprietary models available.

Benchmark	DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731	DeepSeek-V4-Flash (Preview)	DeepSeek-V4-Pro (Preview)	GLM-5.2	Opus-4.8
Terminal Bench 2.1	82.7	61.8	72.1	81.0	85.0
NL2Repo	54.2	39.4	38.5	48.9	69.7
Cybergym	76.7	38.7	52.7	-	83.1
DeepSWE	54.4	7.3	12.8	46.2	58.0
Toolathlon-Verified	70.3	49.7	55.9	59.9	76.2
Agents' Last Exam	25.2	15.8	16.5	23.8	25.7
AutomationBench Public	25.1	10.8	12.8	12.9	27.2
DSBench-FullStack †	68.7	37.0	41.8	61.8	71.6
DSBench-Hard †	59.6	25.8	31.1	54.5	71.7

Notes:

For the Code Agent tasks among the public benchmarks above, DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 is evaluated with the minimal mode of DeepSeek Harness (to be released) as the agent framework, using the max reasoning effort level with temperature = 1.0, top_p = 0.95.
† DSBench-FullStack is an internal full-stack development test set; DSBench-Hard is an internal test set of difficult coding-agent problems.

Chat Template

This release does not include a Jinja-format chat template. Instead, we provide a dedicated encoding folder with Python scripts and test cases demonstrating how to encode messages in OpenAI-compatible format into input strings for the model, and how to parse the model's text output. Please refer to the encoding folder for full documentation.

The reasoning_effort parameter now supports three levels — low, high, and max — which control how much deliberation the model spends before answering.

A brief example:

python

from encoding_dsv4 import encode_messages, parse_message_from_completion_text

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "hello"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hello! I am DeepSeek.", "reasoning_content": "thinking..."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "1+1=?"}
]

# messages -> string
prompt = encode_messages(messages, thinking_mode="thinking", reasoning_effort="max")

# string -> tokens
import transformers
tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731")
tokens = tokenizer.encode(prompt)

How to Run with vLLM

DSpark speculative decoding is enabled with a single flag — add --speculative-config with method: dspark to your vLLM launch command:

--speculative-config '{"method":"dspark","num_speculative_tokens":7,"draft_sample_method":"greedy"}'

For example, the command below serves the model with vLLM on a single 4×GB300 node. See the vLLM recipe for detailed instructions and other hardware configurations.

bash

vllm serve deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 \
  --trust-remote-code --kv-cache-dtype fp8 --block-size 256 \
  --data-parallel-size 4 --enable-expert-parallel \
  --moe-backend deep_gemm_mega_moe \
  --attention-config '{"use_fp4_indexer_cache": true}' \
  --speculative-config '{"method":"dspark","num_speculative_tokens":7,"draft_sample_method":"greedy"}'

How to Run with SGLang

Enable DSpark with --speculative-algorithm DSPARK and do not set a separate --speculative-draft-model-path as the target and draft weights therefore come from the same checkpoint. See the SGLang cookbook for detailed instructions, benchmarks and other hardwares configurations.

bash

sglang serve \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 \
  --tp 4 \
  --moe-runner-backend flashinfer_mxfp4 \
  --speculative-algorithm DSPARK \
  --mem-fraction-static 0.90 \
  --chunked-prefill-size 4096 \
  --swa-full-tokens-ratio 0.1 \

How to Run Locally

Please refer to the inference folder for detailed instructions on running DeepSeek-V4 locally, including model weight conversion and interactive chat demos.

For local deployment, we recommend setting the sampling parameters to temperature = 1.0, with top_p = 0.95 for agentic scenarios and top_p = 1.0 otherwise. For the high and max reasoning effort levels, we recommend a maximum output length of 384K tokens.
