Indie developer victormustar briefly reports that DeepSeek 4.1 Flash 1017 "looks great," attaching multi-angle renders of a procedural Blender 5.1 scene of a Boeing 747-400 in a fictional Meridian livery, showing solid detail across the fuselage, turbofan, and landing gear. He's semi-AFK and gave no further details — an early word-of-mouth signal, unverified at scale.
