DeepSeek R1 vs DeepSeek V4.1 Flash
Kyma serves all of these, so the availability, throughput and latency below are its own readings rather than anybody's marketing. What each creator publishes about its own model is further down, kept separate, and clearly theirs.

Availability, and how much of it we can actually see
Successful observations divided by total observations over the last 30 days, counting Kyma's own probe and real customer requests the same way. Same method and same figures as /models.
No winner here. DeepSeek R1, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash sit inside the band, so this measurement cannot separate them. The honest claim is that they are all up between 100.0 and 100.0%.
DeepSeek R1DeepSeek V4.1 FlashThe tinted band is the measurement's own grain. It is 0.6 points wide, which is what three failed requests are worth in the thinnest sample on this page. One or two is what luck looks like, so a lead has to clear all three before this page will call it. Scale starts at 98%, not at zero, and dot size is the size of the sample behind the figure.
Throughput
Median tokens per second, from one identical prompt sent to every model every six hours, so the only variable left between two rows is the model.
DeepSeek R1DeepSeek V4.1 FlashLatency
Median time to a complete response on that same fixed prompt. It moves with output length, so it is a reading on one prompt rather than a promise about yours.

What this instrument does not measure
This page carries no benchmark scores, so it will not tell you which model is smarter. It tells you which is cheaper, which is faster, which stays up, and what each one accepts. For the quality question, run both on your own prompts: one key, one line changed, and the answer is about your work rather than someone else's test set.
