Do you understand that this is a base model? It means you are supposed to take it and post train it. It's much smaller than DeepSeek-v4-Flash, that's already a plus, you compare base to base. 4.1 and 4.1-1017 are trained from the base model.
DeepSeek 4.1 Flash is twice the size of this and difficult to run locally. Makes more sense to compare it to DS4F.
