Just tested through openrouter.. gave exactly same task.. the task was to scan existing repo, and generate a single docker-compose file to deploy behind a caddy server, where certain port ranges are already used, the service demands widlcard certificates to be provisioned from outside, and postgre needs to be built-in one... Tested this model, and gpt-5.6-terra-high. Results: this one had few issues. terra: none. The…

Wait people use terra?

Worse than Luna but more expensive than Luna. Sticking with Luna without sending my data to Deepseek (China)

Unless you're Chinese, why would you care if they see your data? As an American, I'd much rather have my data kept outside the country than here where companies and the government have a lot more leverage over me.

This! It's always amusing when folks say "But China", my data in the hands of my government and their billionaire friends is more than dangerous than in China. I mean, if it's an IP sort of thing then go local.

Why does this link to OpenRouter, which has no useful information on its own? Linking to the official API or the benchmarks would make more sense:

- https://api-docs.deepseek.com/

- https://x.com/ChrisGPT/status/2087572834650407024/photo/1 (officially posted on WeChat, this is just one of many reposts)

Tested both DS v4 pro 0813 and Grok 4.6 (all from openrouter) on Codex cli. Worked on a same new feature development on my project. Deepseek 4 pro: Worked for 12m 02s - cost $0.12 - has bug. Grok 4.6: Worked for 3m 18s - cost $ 1.41 - no bug.

I thought it was impossible to downvote posts?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The Deepseek official API is good with excellent caching. But their privacy policy is unusually bad - they can train off your prompts and completions.

Use another provider from OpenRouter. I really don’t care if they train off my prompts.

V4 Pro 0813 isn't offered by other providers. I can't find this model on hugging face. It's probably not open, or not open yet.

I don't think so. I specifically kept this PR to test model capabilities, and I've already tested a bunch of models. Current test results show that the more advanced the model is, the easier it passes. For example, GPT-5.5 Medium fails the test(has bug), but High passed.

They are causal autoregressive models, the output is sensitive even to the implementation nuances in inference. Even 1 token that's badly selected could throw off the entire answer.

you're thinking of one shot. if they are running an agentic loop then they don't need multiple passes. an agentic loop is multiple passes with tool calls and tools could fail and agent would correct from seeing the failure. a bad model will compound on error and fail, a good model will correct. 1 test is fine to gauge the quality of the model.

Terra has not been able to do any of the technical tasks I've asked of it correctly. I'm surprised others get use out of it. Anything below Sol high tends to give me mostly unreliable results. I'm using codex as my main harness but maybe it performs better with a different one.

With Pi as a harness I've been using OpenAI models as a worker with an Opus 5 (in Claude Code) planner. I've only had a few issues with Terra High/Medium and absolutely none with Sol Medium+ on a fairly complex Rust project that targets Linux, Mac, Windows and Web, with plenty of nasty FFI, VMs, remotely debugging systems, among some other things within a monorepo.

I think the key is to give them a nice assortment of self-verification tools, an AGENTS.md or reference document that they're encouraged to routinely check, and asking the planner to be thorough with the ACs but give the model some space.

The planner routinely finds issues with the worker's output, but that's what it is for.

https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing/ Competitive with opus 4.8 but weaker than sol or fable. About 20x cheaper.

... and mere mortals can run this at home or rent a GPU, you can't do so with Sol or Fable.
