DeepSeek-V4-Flash Leaked Evaluations Show Mind-Blowing Performance, Defying Scaling Laws

Author @bookwormengr argues against current AI scaling laws, claiming that major investment theses rely too heavily on steady scaling while ignoring the potential to pack intelligence more densely. He points out that labs like Moonshot and DeepSeek are actively breaking this dogma.
He shared live evaluation links for DeepSeek-V4-Flash, stating it will make you say "holy sht" at least 10 times in under 40 minutes. Although the model currently has some rough edges like spatial understanding, these issues are expected to be rectified in version 4.1 with the addition of vision capabilities for output review.
