Inference is offering DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 Cyber, a third-party refusal-removed variant—not a newly announced official DeepSeek model. Its page says the modified weights have not been separately benchmarked. Access to the hosted version requires identity checks and human approval for each team and model. CEO Sam Hogan frames access to capable open-source cyber models as a Second Amendment right; that is his constitutional argument. He says the service runs at cost in US data centers with zero data retention by default. You came for an API key and got a patriotic rally followed by an application form. The model has fewer refusals; the platform still has an admissions desk. That distinction matters rather more than the flag on the launch post.
