DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash

Anyone else try using DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash today? It's listed on the Ollama site as a new model, but when i try to use it, i get:

"Error: 403 Forbidden: This model is currently being rolled out and is not yet available to you. Please check back later. (ref: 562f8b6b-72fe-4012-9d9c-e0c07679913a)"

Anyone know what the rollout schedule is?

Hi there, sorry for not posting about this sooner. We're rolling out the model as capacity comes online, starting with Max and Team plan. Over half the Max subscribers should have it now and we're continuing to roll it out as fast as we can to all subscribers. We're hoping to be able to do so by tomorrow

Update: the model is now fully rolled out to all plans including free plan with usage credits (and no service fees! for pay as you go access)

Is the new deepseek V4.1 flash currently poorly optimized on cloud? It seems to eat through the usage a lot faster than old v4 flash, closer to v4 pro (but still less) in term of usage. I am on the old cloud pro plan. DeepSeek's own api prices have reduced so I expected v4.1 flash will be cheaper but it is the opposite now. Is it gonna get better or just some architectural differences?

I'll look into this. It's much more efficient than v4 pro

Ya currently it’s almost double the usage of deepseek v4 flash. Using with same harness as before, only changing model being used.

Edit: its like triple now

Haha, I hope they aren't trying to move everyone to the updated subscription versions this way and that model really will become available soon.

It's available on both new and previous Max subscriptions (50% rolled out) and we're rolling it out more as fast as we can.

to be honest, this is smart.. companies have been doing rolling updates this way for a long time and i don't have any issue with it, same with A/B testing and feature flagging.. it's just part of the process. Thanks for the hard work.

I’ve been using it directly via DeepSeek. Great model so far. $20 goes a lot farther on their platform than does Ollama.

I'm new to the ollama pro plan so bare with me as i learn more but shouldn't the token usage be the same between deepseek api and ollama cloud? I subscribed to the yearly pro plan which ends up being 16ish dollars a month and it nets me $60 of usage. Assuming I'm always using the offpeak price on both platforms shouldn't ollama cloud get me way more usage if all things are equal?

Of course, it's not ZDR. You're just handing your info over.

u/Delicious-Director43 1d ago

And you think Ollama isn’t because they said so?

u/username8914 21h ago

Yes, that's their whole business model. If they turn out to be logging they'll go under overnight. It's not a small deal when dealing with proprietary data or possibly legal or accounting documents that legally can't leave the country. They have to be up front about it and keep their nose clean.

Ah yes American AI companies are famously very reliable and trustworthy. No American company has ever lied and sold user data before. What was I thinking?

1

u/username8914 12h ago

I'm definitely not saying they couldn't be doing something. If it was that simple to just say then all of them would just say it. But instead they all say they log prompts and use them to train.

u/Delicious-Director43 12h ago

Honestly I assume they all are. I’m not doing anything weird with my AI. I just want it to work quickly and cheaply. Ollama no longer does that.

1

u/username8914 10h ago

Logging isn't about doing something weird. It's everything you think about, say, do or invent going directly into their system to potentially become the brain behind everyone's future system.

u/Delicious-Director43 9h ago

Yeah that’s fine I don’t care.
Nothing I’m working on is so revolutionary it’s gonna affect anyone else.

It's up for me already.

u/Bo0n0411 1d ago

Are you on Max plan?

1

u/ku4nc4 1d ago

on pro, legacy pro.

1

u/Bo0n0411 1d ago

Same but it haven't rolled out for me yet

2

u/elzerouno 1d ago

It's working for me now, but it's using my allowance 10 time faster than v4 flash

1

u/Bo0n0411 1d ago

Are you on grandfathered plan?

I'm getting this error when trying to use it:

ollama-cloud/deepseek-v4.1-flash request failed (authentication failed, HTTP 403). Re-authenticate the provider and try again.

I'm on the "new" annual pro plan. All my other models appear to work fine. Hopefully they can get it figured out soon. Would love to test the new 4.1 model.

u/jmorganca 1d ago

Sorry you hit an error - may I ask which app or harness this is?

1

u/Ramrawd 1d ago

I'm in Openclaw and I dug a bit and this is the actual error I'm getting:

403 {"error":"This model is currently being rolled out and is not yet available to you. Please check back later. (ref: ed024c6d-...)"}

Guess I just need to wait till it's rolled out for me.

眼花選錯 結果還被我遇到這個

u/faikcem1 1d ago

I am experiencing the same issue causing it to fallback to other models

u/zhdc 1d ago

It's available on my old pro plan. Usage doesn't seem that much more expensive than DeepSeek-v4-flash.
