What DeepSeek-Flash-DSpark is

DeepSeek-V4: Towards Highly Efficient Million-Token Context Intelligence Note: DeepSeek-V4-Flash-DSpark is not a new model. It is the same checkpoint with an additional speculative decoding module attached. A minimal inference example is available in the inference folder. For more details, refer to: https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSpec Introduction We present a preview version of DeepSeek-V4 series, including two strong Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models — DeepSeek-V4-Pro with 1.6T parameters (49B activated) and DeepSeek-V4-Flash with 284B parameters (13B activated) — both supporting a context length of one million tokens. DeepSeek-V4 series incorporate several key upgrades in architecture and optimization: 1. Hybrid Attention Architecture: We design a hybrid attention mechanism combining Compressed Sparse Attention (CSA) and Heavily Compressed Attention (HCA) to dramatically improve long-context efficiency. In the 1M-token context setting, DeepSeek-V4-Pro requires only 27% of single-token inference FLOPs and 10% of KV cache compared with DeepSeek-V3.2. 2. Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections (mHC): We incorporate mHC to strengthen conventional residual connections, enhancing stability of signal propagation across layers while preserving model expressivity. 3. Muon Optimizer: We employ the Muon optimizer for faster convergence and greater training stability. We pre-train both models on more than 32T diverse and high-quality tokens, followed by a comprehensive post-training pipeline. The post-training features a two-stage paradigm: independent cultivation of domain-specific experts (through SFT and RL with GRPO), followed by unified model consolidation via on-policy distillation, integrating distinct proficiencies across diverse domains into a single model. DeepSeek-V4-Pro-Max, the maximum reasoning effort mode of DeepSeek-V4-Pro, significantly advances the knowledge capabilities of open-source models, firmly establishing itself as the best open-source model available today. It achieves top-tier performance in coding benchmarks and significantly bridges the gap with leading closed-source models on reasoning and agentic tasks. Meanwhile, DeepSeek-V4-Fla

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys deepseek-flash-dspark for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (deepseek-flash-dspark below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
