Hands-on: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is fast at computer control, beats Codex for the author
AlchainHust · x · 2026-09-10
AlchainHust shares a hands-on with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: not SOTA — it still struggles with tricky bug fixing — but extremely fast, and with max effort enabled it's good at breaking tasks into steps.
Combined with his own huashu-mac-use and huashu-chrome tools, it controls the Mac and browser quickly and stably, and in that scenario he finds it noticeably better than Codex and Claude Code.
