computerex··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
Yes the company I work for is based in San Diego, I work remotely from Alabama.

I bet you voted for trump. With brains like that.

computerex··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
You have NO IDEA what you're talking about. You are clueless.

Deepseek v4.1 flash is an open weights model. You can run it on your own hardware. You have no idea how my companies gets access to it. A very cursory Google search would reveal to you that there are many enterprise grade LLM providers that host this model on US soil with SOC2 protections.

Like: https://fireworks.ai/

Try not to talk about subjects you have no knowledge about because you are making yourself look like an idiot.

Edit: It's also clear to me that you don't deploy any LLM based system on scale because if you had you'd know why open weights models are so compelling.

Hint: it's the cost.

You are speaking out of your ass, that’s what I take issue with. Falsifiability is something I hold sacred and you are taking a dump on it.

Fwiw I work in a company producing software for many fortune 500’s you have heard about and many people from our team use deepseek.

I am literally using it right now. Your entire line of reasoning rubs me the wrong way.

Btw check your provider and harness… improperly configured deepseek can emit dsml. If you are not passing thinking tokens back to the model it tends to do that.

Use a proper harness and good provider.

computerex··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
So your argument is that the 38T of tokens used in the last 7 days is by moron programmers or people doing "inauthentic" tasks? You think the person who made this post is also an idiot?

Do you realize how incredibly delusional/self-centered you sound?

computerex··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
What is your evidence? Deepseek v4.1 Flash is by far the most popular coding model on openrouter, having processed 38.7T tokens in just the last 7 days, over 3x the usage of the 2nd rank model.

So I ask again, what are you basing your assertion on?

computerex··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
There are already US hosted offerings on companies like fireworks.ai.

The COT isn't an end all be all. Research has shown that the COT isn't necessarily what the model is actually thinking.

Care to explain how ?

Yes, the whole point of captchas is to capture automated systems. I used captcha as an example. There are a whole host of other anti-bot countermeasures.

Could have fooled me, especially with completely useless comments like the one you just posted.

I always marvel how “hacker news” is so pro capitalism and pro billionaire class. Site should be named “silicon valley hub” or something.

Late stage capitalism is a scourge for humanity.

> Even with its most advanced model ChatGPT isn't reliably able to tell me if an online shop has an item in stock.

That’s almost certainly due to things like captcha or something. What’s the actual shop you are referring to?

No, not modern foundation models. This isn’t gpt-3.5-turbo. Although they are causal autoregressive, they have self consistency. You just have to verify multiple times to ensure you have averaged out any sampling errors.

I fact checked your claim: https://chatgpt.com/share/6ac6e0a3-9534-83e9-a96f-64fb5f3246...

It's a bit more nuanced than the picture you are painting. I don't condone their behavior if that's what happened. But this post is about a much larger release.

> Not take credit for and independently solve these problems and instead sponsor researchers and give them credit. They could chose to include humans and frame AI as elevating human systems. Instead they are reveling in the fact that they did this in their own instead of humans.

How do you know humans played the part that you think they did in this result? What evidence do you have to challenge their framing?

They are going for super intelligence, humans not necessary.

On one hand I don’t want to be replaced by an AI so I hate that this is happening. I don’t want AI to be controlled by the elites to enrich themselves further.

But on the other hand super intelligence will open doors for humanity. Maybe we will finally defeat cancer or death itself.

What do you expect them to do?
computerex··on Writing code by hand is over, forever
Hey bud, I know you think you know it all but I assure you, you don’t. Classifiers are a heck of a lot more effective at discerning AI text due to things like the fact that LLMs tend to use more adjectives than humans. A classifier can sometimes discern the differences in distribution, whereas it’s virtually impossible for humans to do so.

I’d shave off my head if you or any other human can reliably discern LLM vs human in a proper controlled test.

computerex··on Writing code by hand is over, forever
You have no way to know whether the ideas presented are the authors own or whether they are wholly from the LLM. Nevertheless I think rejecting text purely on the basis that you think it is ai generated is a form of ad hominem.

It’s not mathematically possible to reliably discern human writing from llm writing.

> It is, it's disrespectful of the reader. Like others have said time and again across HN: why should I spend my time reading an article the "author" couldn't even spend their own time writing?

You are entitled to your opinion. As for me, I focus on the actual content and merits of the writing.

Do you even understand what you wrote? Because it's practically incoherent.

> They are not what they are to you, they are not just whatever you care about, they are what they actually are.

You wrote that. It's a useless comment, adds nothing to the discussion and reads like you are trying to be clever and failing at it. Learn to articulate.

Btw how much media coverage have you seen in America related to the genocide of Gaza ? Jewish terrorism in West Bank?

That’s what I thought. There is a reason independent journalists on YT are having great success right now because legacy media is trash, bought and paid for.

Why do you think journalists are creating shows like “Mehdi Hasan unfiltered”?

You can’t in goodwill with a straight face say American media is just. Western media overall is bought and paid for.

Do you see the self-centeredness of your comment? Why is his (Mexican) perspective wrong? Just because you say it is?
computerex··on The AI Race Just Got Awkward
You say that as our pedo president is testing waters by doing another term and his republican lackeys are supporting him on this.

Also at the end of the day what matters is whether the government serves the people and the peoples quality of life.

Quality of life for the Chinese people has steadily increased. Quality of life for the American people has steadily decreased.

computerex··on The last time my family was replaced by technology
Hey I hope you are right. I, like so many of my fellow engineers, am not exactly thrilled at the prospect of my role changing from underneath my feet and the uncertainty that comes with it.

We are making steady progress. It’s not exponential per se like we used to see but in my experience models are steadily getting better. Also breakthroughs can be sudden.

> If China ever gets ahead, they're going closed source and weights immediately.

Anthropic itself admits that Chinese models are merely months behind. Your argument does not make sense, because Chinese labs are contributing massive optimizations like the one this post is about.

computerex··on The last time my family was replaced by technology
LLM's went from generating incoherent garbage, to weird text that seems coherent but isn't (gpt-2), to what we have no with agents passing some of the hardest benchmarks, necessitating benchmark development just to be able to keep up with the rate of progress. They did this in about 5 years.

The sheer rate of progress is what is meaningful. If LLM's agents were frozen now without any further improvement, your position would be must more defensible. But that's not what's happening, we are getting breakthroughs almost on a weekly basis.

My comment doesn't even fall into the category of whataboutism....
computerex··on The AI Race Just Got Awkward
Then why did you respond with a useless self aggrandising comment?

Love the arguments btw. Your position is so cut and dry that you can’t even support it with evidence.

computerex··on The AI Race Just Got Awkward
No, actually trump bragged about it on x.

Trump kicked and banned major news orgs from the White House just now. You’d have to be will fully ignorant or really naive to believe we have fair and just media.
