It has been two weeks since DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 was open-sourced on October 17, 2026, yet the model is still not available in the NVIDIA NIM API Catalog. From a user perspective, this is somewhat puzzling.
The model is released under the MIT License, with weights available on Hugging Face and ModelScope, and the vLLM and SGLang communities already provide support. For users who need high-performance, low-cost, commercially usable open models, it offers clear value for coding and agent workloads.
We therefore hope that DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 will be made available in the NVIDIA API Catalog as soon as possible, so that users can access it directly.
