Stanford Framework Boosts DeepSeek Past Claude at 1/11th Cost
FuSheng_0306 · x · 2026-08-20
A Stanford team applied an open-source verification framework to DeepSeek V4 Flash, enabling it to outperform Fable 5 (Claude 3.5 Sonnet) on the Terminal Bench 2.1.
The mechanism generates 5 solutions and selects the most reliable one, increasing inference costs by roughly 8x. However, DeepSeek V4 Flash's final cost remains just 1/11th of Fable 5's. This demonstrates that low-cost open-source models can match or exceed proprietary models with the right workflow and plugins.
