Early take: DeepSeek V4.1 Solo beats Agent Teams and GLM 5.3 Flash on quality and cost

Blogger teortaxesTex compares outputs (a 'Nacre' piece) across GLM 5.3 Flash, DeepSeek V4.1 Agent Teams, and V4.1 Solo, judging V4.1 Solo the best and cheapest of the bunch. The Agent Teams swarm burned a ton of tokens on unnecessary (but cool) research into pearl optics and kept stepping on each other's feet — not recommended for now. (Model names unverified.)
