2025年1月，DeepSeek发布了低成本的R1模型，引发全球科技股抛售。公司最新版本的发布正值人们对美国基础设施提供商CoreWeave的盈利前景以及其他依赖债务的科技公司的担忧日益加剧之际。
In January 2025, DeepSeek unveiled its low-cost R1 model, triggering a global sell-off in tech stocks. The company's latest version comes amid rising doubts over the earnings outlook for U.S.-based CoreWeave, which provides computing resources for AI, and other debt-reliant tech companies.
尽管中国获取先进芯片受限，但若有迹象表明中国AI模型正在缩小与美国竞争对手的性能差距，可能会动摇人们对科技股的信心。
Any sign that Chinese AI models are closing the performance gap with American rivals, despite the restrictions on China's access to advanced chips, could undermine confidence in tech stocks.
V4.1-Flash-1017的使用费用与之前版本保持不变。其价格低于美国AI模型，工作日白天时段的输入费用仅为GPT-5.6 Sol和Claude Opus 5的1/13至1/17，输出费用为1/17至1/21。
The usage fee for V4.1-Flash-1017 remains unchanged from the previous version. It is cheaper than American AI models, with weekday daytime rates of 1/13 to 1/17 as much as GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Opus 5 for input, and 1/17 to 1/21 for output.
美国AI跟踪机构Artificial Analysis报告称，中国模型的前一版本V4.1-Flash在DeepSeek的所有模型中整体表现最高。尽管它落后于其他中国和美国的旗舰AI模型，但其高性价比赢得了众多用户。
U.S.-based AI tracker Artificial Analysis reports that the previous version of the Chinese model, V4.1-Flash, has the highest overall performance among DeepSeek's models. Though it lags other Chinese and U.S. flagship AI models, its cost-effectiveness has won it many users.
在美国服务平台OpenRouter上，该平台允许用户从多种模型中选择，V4.1-Flash自推出以来在大多数周内一直是最受欢迎的版本。
On the U.S. service OpenRouter, which lets users choose from various models, V4.1-Flash has been the most popular version for most weeks since its launch.
