Account scaling01 mocked "congratulations to OpenAI on this great model release" with screenshots showing DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 repeatedly answering "I'm ChatGPT, an AI assistant developed by OpenAI" when asked what model it is — likely training-data contamination or distillation artifacts. The screenshots also show responses costing $0.0001–0.0003 at 2–3 seconds each.
