What commenters are saying
Commenters are skeptical of the claimed benchmark results. Some believe frontier AI labs will now withhold top models, while others argue DeepSeek's open releases prevent that. Several users compare the model favorably to Opus 5 and GLM 5.3, though some note it lags behind Sol 6.1 and Opus 5.5. A few highlight the odd copy calling it a "minor update" with "substantial improvements." One user suggests Chinese certification requirements force labs to avoid major version bumps. There is discussion about local hardware requirements: running this flash model is costly.
