A viral post mocks DeepSeek's no-win routing situation: switching Pro to v4.1 flash drew complaints that better eval scores don't mean better real-world output, while rolling back to the original Pro after user feedback got it accused of breaking its word — with some speculating the new flash model underperforms Pro. The author argues vendors should stick to their decisions, joking that Anthropic embodies this trait well.
