DeepSeek is great for tasks and software I already know well. Even if it gets something wrong, I can usually verify it myself. But when I'm working with a programming language I'm not familiar with, I prefer using Codex or Claude.

#118The previous V4 version wasn't called “Preview” by most inference providers. For example, the OpenRouter model slug was `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`. So now there will be confusion when someone talks about V4 Flash or when someone offers V4 Flash inference. Why not call it V4.1?
It probably would be called 'deepseek-v4-flash-0731' in API edit: nope, at least deepseek kept "deepseek-v4-flash" and just updated model underneath. I guess preview is no longer worth serving with that release and you'd have to look through inference provider docs to see if they've updated, yeah..
That's what I mean. On DeepSeek it's now just `deepseek-v4-flash`, while OpenRouter calls it `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`, so now when someone talks about DeepSeek V4 Flash, like in benchmarks, or other inference providers, which version do they actually mean?
The `-0731` style suffix is worse compared to a proper version bump like V4.1.

#119The conspiracy theorist in me wants to think that the 80% drop in GPT 5.6 Luna prices today is correlated with this update from DeepSeek. Perhaps OpenAI has already hacked its competitors with it's Mythos-like models and is aware of what competitors are doing and is able to react in advance.
