Agent's inner monologue exposed: DeepSeek model admits 3 of 4 full re-renders were wasteful
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-18
teortaxesTex posted the leaked inner thinking of a DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Max agent: asked how many videos it rendered, it audited shell history and admitted 4 full 720-frame captures — 3 of them unnecessary re-render cycles triggered by tiny lighting/timing tweaks — while deliberating how to own the inefficiency without over-apologizing. The session burned 12.5M tokens at 231 tok/s with a 99.7% cache hit, highlighting a classic agent workflow waste pattern.
