Quick answer: DeepSeek-V3.1 is an iterative update in the DeepSeek-V3 series, building on the V3-0324 checkpoint with continued improvements in coding, reasoning, and instruction following. It maintains the 685B MoE architecture, MIT license, and $0.27/$1.10 API pricing of the V3 line.
DeepSeek-V3.1 continues the versioned improvement trajectory of the DeepSeek-V3 family. Following V3 (December 2024) and V3-0324 (March 2025), the .1 update represents a more formal increment — a training checkpoint improvement with targeted quality gains rather than a date-stamped hotfix. It continues the trend of improving SWE-bench and hard reasoning scores within the same architectural framework.
