Suspected DeepSeek V4.1 Flash leak criticized as a 'token slopper' on efficiency
Dany0 · reddit · 2026-10-17
A Reddit user discusses circulating benchmarks for a suspected DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (1017) checkpoint: only one low-quality channel has published results, celebrating its cost efficiency — which the poster takes as a strong sign it's a 'tokenslopper' that pads outputs. They ask whether a better token-efficiency benchmark exists and whether Artificial Analytics will retest, noting the previous checkpoint was so poor they preferred GLM 5.3 Flash. Unconfirmed leak.
