DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp
Kimi K3DeepSeek’s officially released new multimodal visual-understanding model, DeepSeek‑V4‑Flash‑Vision‑Exp, is experimental in nature and supports multimodal inputs. In pure-text capabilities (agents, reasoning, world knowledge, etc.), DeepSeek‑V4‑Flash‑Vision‑Exp is on par with the official DeepSeek‑V4‑Flash release.
Kimi K3 is Kimi’s flagship model for long-horizon coding and end-to-end knowledge work, with a 1M-token context window and industry-leading intelligence.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
