DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Agent OS is SCARY GOOD!

China just dropped DeepSeek V4 Flash 4.1, and it's actually very, very good. If you haven't tested it out already, it's basically like a frontier model, but it's super fast, and it's right up there on benchmarks with other frontier models, for example, like OS 5 and GPT 5.6. So, and the other cool thing about this is it's a lot cheaper if not free. In fact, I'll show you an interesting free way to use DeepSeek V41 Flash today as an AI. So, let me show you some of the cool stuff that we've done with it. So, for example, we can use this inside our agentic operating system. So, if we go over to DeepSeek Harness, which is the agentic harness designed for V41 Flash, you can see here that we can use DeepSeek Harness inside our system here, right? And you know, you can build and automate anything you want with it. For example, you can even, for example, build out a to-do list inside an agentic OS system. You can build and automate anything you want. And also, this is a cool part, you can use this for free. So, if you're wondering how to use it for free, you can use something called DeepSeek V41 Flash free on Token Harbor. Token Harbor is where you want to get access to this. So, if you've never heard of Token Harbor, let me find this for you now. So, this is Token Harbor AI, and you can get a free account. And once you've got a free account, then you can go to model. So, I just signed up on a free account, and then inside the model section, you got all these different models, as you can see right here. But the one that we're interested in today is the free one, which is DeepSeek V41 Flash today. Now, one thing I will say is that right now is available for free. As you can see, it is limited. So, it's available for a limited time only, which means you might as well check it out whilst you can. Also, you can get DeepSeek V4 Flash free. So, this is pretty good because, for example, if you're using Token Harbor and using V41 Flash, and then that runs out of tokens or it gets limited, or for example, it's not free anymore, then you can use DeepSeek V4 Flash, or you can use MIMO V25, which is another Chinese AI.
And then you can build and automate if you want with it inside DeepSeek Harness, as you can see right here.
Now, the other cool thing about this is that you can use the API and then plug it in as a brain inside Hermes Agent, or inside OpenClaw, or whatever you prefer. So, for example, here, we've got these different profiles for all of their AI agents, and you can see we've got DeepSeek V41 Flash from Token Harbor. By the way, if you're wondering how to set this up, how to use DeepSeek V41 Flash for free, the way that I did it is I just went over to my Codex system here, and then inside Codex, you can just go into your AI agent and be like, hey, can you get this agent OS set up with DeepSeek V41 Flash? And you just tell it, and you give it the API to do that, right? You literally just tell it to add that to DeepSeek Harness for you. That's as simple as this. Or if you want to get my system that's ready to go with all this built in, then you can get that inside the AI Profit Boarding, link in the comments description, or go to the aiprofitboarding.com. So you can use it inside Hermes like so, and you can message it, or you can use it inside Hermes bot, which is kind of like Grokbot, but it's Hermes agent's version. And the good thing about that is like it's open source, and you can choose any model. You can't change your model with Grokbot directly, but you can change it with Hermes agent. So for example, here, we can use our profile with DeepSeek V41 Flash as a free API directly in. And then we've got like Hermes Oracle, Hermes Asteros, all these cool little features you can plug in. We've even got an outreach tool here for lead generation. So for example, you can type in what type of leads you want to find, click Validate email addresses. You'll find you the email addresses, as you can see right here, for whatever niche you're in.
From there, you can start building out a campaign, so you can describe what your AI campaign is about, type in the details, it will start writing the whole email campaign, and then you can manage your campaigns over here. And also, because it's Hermes Agent, we've DeepSeek plugged in, you can actually manage your inbox for you and track like, okay, what the emails have been sent, and everything else, which is really, really cool. So two cool ways to use it. Also, what I like about DeepSeek V41 Flash is that it's pretty good at coding, right? It's actually like near frontier levels when it comes to coding. Why is that important? Because you can build out your own custom tools of it. And then, for example, like you see with this system, we can automate all of our ads and the headlines and the content and the descriptions inside our ads. We could use this inside Open Montage and generate like amazing cinematic videos, as you can see right here. All we need to do is just type in the type of cinematic video we want, and we're good to go. We could even, for example, link it to Higgs Field.
