Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Qwen3-VL Flash supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
DeepSeek
DeepSeek-V3.1, released by DeepSeek in August 2025, is a hybrid large language model with 671 billion total parameters (37 billion active) that unifies the capabilities of DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1 in a single model. It features a 128K token context window and supports both direct generation and extended reasoning modes selectable via the chat template. DeepSeek-V3.1 targets general-purpose tasks, coding, and complex reasoning under an open MIT license.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen3-VL Flash is a lightweight multimodal variant from Alibaba's Qwen3-VL family, designed for efficient visual reasoning and image understanding at lower inference cost. It inherits the joint visual-textual architecture of the Qwen3-VL series and targets latency-sensitive applications requiring multimodal input processing at scale.
