# Uncensored DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: every version compared

_2026-11-06. Abliterated, heretic and uncensored versions of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and its 1017 update, compared on intelligence, agent tasks, refusals, price and context. Which one to use, and how to call it._

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is DeepSeek's fast open weight model: a mixture of experts released under the MIT license,
with a context window of up to a million tokens. There are two checkpoints: the original from September 10, 2026
(often labelled 0910) and the October 17 update (1017), which scores higher on hard reasoning. It is also the most
used model family on Open Uncensored.

Because the weights are open, several groups have published uncensored versions: abliterated, heretic edited and fine
tuned. They are not interchangeable. We run all of them through the same tests, and this page compares every one we
serve.

## The originals

- **DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017** scores 43% on Humanity's Last Exam (Artificial Analysis, reasoning mode).
- **DeepSeek V4.1 Flash** scores 39% on Humanity's Last Exam and 91% on GPQA Diamond (Artificial Analysis, reasoning mode).

Every uncensored version keeps that starting point. What differs is how much each edit costs in agent reliability, how
much it still refuses, and the price.
