#22Which models are we talking about? Is there any degradation in quality, long context retrieval?
The tweet mentioned deepseek V4 flash. From HF: 284B parameters (13B active), 1M context window. This is indeed some kind of compressed context and the quality goes down as the context grows. IIRC the V4 paper had some numbers on this https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash
I heard claude models are of trillions of parameters !!! 284B, 1M... I wouldn't trust on long running autonomous agents! But for the API costs, this is justified if a better hardware with bigger model is used and will be a claude equivalent for comparable quality at long context retrieval on long running autonomous tasks. At least for me that is important.
