> From what my AIs tell me, Particle-1 is post-trained on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017

So then what is the point of this model that I could not already do with DeepSeek?

Why does "Particle" even exist?

That is sort of like saying why apply reinforcement learning (most of the modern improvements in LLMs have come from RL) to any raw LLM. They are refining it to perform better at certain tasks.

Like what, coding?

Over 50+ LLMs out there do exactly this.
