After some time replacing gemini 3 flash preview with deepseek v4 flash for a chat model, the biggest difference is the auto reasoning effort. Gemini flash is super fast and perfect for a chat model. But when I need some thought experiments with a handful of constraints, it struggles a bit and I switch to sonnet. But with deepseek v4 flash, it can do long complex reasoning and it gets things often right. Generating a lot of reasoning tokens means that it takes a lot of time of course. But I am happy to find a cheaper model and excited to try something other than gemini flash. Gemini flash has been so good that I was locked on it for a while.

That doesn't work, if you do that it will mark DeepSeek's models with a warning symbol along with the error "paid model training violation".
In a sense, it's working as intended. If you set zdr to true, you currently can't use DeepSeek v4. However, once other providers offer it (it is an open model, after all), some may allow zdr.
Yeah, OR gives a bunch of providers, including Deepseek, which does train.
I set ZDR to true, and it only calls from the third party ZDR Deepseek APIs. Bit more expensive, but my client wants it.

But then that would have the downside of falsely blocking projects that were developed in private and then just pushed to Github (or any public repo). Like I always use my own, self-hosted Forgejo for everything by default.
If it's a project you actually care about and are actively working on it'll be just as good 3 months from now. If it's something that'll be irrelevant in 3 months why should anyone care about it?
That is true in most cases I guess but just look at the current product in OP. In 3 months, at the pace AI products evolve, we might "all" be using the next AI coding harness and Claude Code could be a thing of the past. So it's not a long lasting tool like curl for example.
All I'm trying to say that generalizing like suggested might exclude some useful things.

How come such slop is allowed here, what value do these vibe coded zero shot "projects" add? Why not just post the prompt?
Seriously. When I first looked this project had been pushed the first commit two hours prior. Projects should be at least 3 months old or automatically removed.
Fwiw git history can be forged pretty easily. You can re-timestamp commits

Thank you for the writeup, integration with a TUI sounds great. Have you played with Jido (it's built on ReqLLM)? OpenAI also has an interesting Elixir orchestration project (surprisingly).
Thanks! I wasn't aware of Jido or ReqLLM before. ReqLLM looks especially promising, and I will likely use it. At the moment, I'm only integrated with OpenRouter.
Yeah, I use ReqLLM in my product and some side projects. So far, so good.

DeepClaude doesn't support MCP tool use; does your solution work with MCP tools such as Serena?
Re: DeepClaude – Claude Code agent loop with DeepSeek V4 Pro
#267Not sure you can replace Claude with DeepSeek V4 that easily and have same results. From what I see while building my own agentic system in Elixir, the problem is in training for your specific harness/contracts. Claude/GPT-style models seem to be trained around very specific contracts used by the harness like tool call formats, planning structure, patching, reading files, recovering from errors, and knowing when to s…

The more interesting part of deepclaude is the local proxy it runs to switch models mid-session and do combined cost tracking. Though these features seem quite buried in the LLM-generated readme. Looking at the history, it appears they were added later, and the readme wasn't restructured to highlight this. Also, the author checked in their apparently effective social media advertising plan: https://github.com/aattara…

is the value the working outputs or the inputs? A prompt alone would not let you recreate this project.

I could not find any evidence of prompt logging. The code is open; can you point me to it?
When you send your first message and opencode generates a title automatically, it uses the free opencode/gpt-5-nano model from the OpenCode Zen provider at https://opencode.ai/zen/v1 Ask AI to look at the code for you We don't have any proof they're not logging everything, by default we should assume they are
I did read the code. OpenCode uses your global `small_model` (https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/dev/packages/open...) or title agent (https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/51e310c9/packages...)
OpenCode Zen is their own service provider; they see your prompt the same way OpenAI and Anthropic do. Somebody has to see your code, unless you host your models yourself.

> USA data protection protects data of US citizens only, foreigners data is not protected HN is an American site. If you look at the US government, it is going to fearmonger about anything China related, because they haven't had a genuine competitor for decades and they're scared and lashing out. Most US news just parrot the government line, sometimes more so than state TV would, and so it reflects here. I also feel…
Wolf Warrior diplomacy isn't even 10 years dead. The HK treaty was violated and continues to be. Taiwan gets threatened every other week. People can have problems with America and I'm fine with that. But pretending China isn't subsidizing industry (land, education, transportation) in a predatory fashion is silly. Too many companies have gone out of business because of it. We can all have our friends in China without…
The US assisted a genocide, literally kidnapped the president of a sovereign country so it could take its oil, threatened its own allies with invasion and started a war of aggression against another so that it can take their oil, all in a span of a few months.
But tell me more.
