DeepSeek v4.1 Flash Tested Across 8 Coding Harnesses: Performs Best in Minimal Setups
mariofilhoml · x · 2026-09-11
DeepSeek evaluated its new v4.1 flash model under 8 different harness configurations: it performs best in minimal harnesses (mini-SWE and DeepSeek's own minimal harness) but underperforms in both Claude Code and Codex. A replier notes this is likely explained by RL checkpoint selection against DeepSWE-like benchmarks — an eval-harness selection bias.
