Pi harness nearly matches DeepSeek's own at 42.2 vs 42.5 on Bug Hunt Bench, at half the cost

Pawel Huryn reports new Bug Hunt Bench results: running DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (MAX effort) in the Pi harness scores 42.2 (mean of 5), nearly matching DeepSeek's own harness at 42.5 (mean of 7) — at $0.83 vs $1.84 per run. The Claude Code harness scores 39.1 with the same model. Takeaway: the harness itself materially affects benchmark scores, and Pi achieves comparable results at roughly half the cost. High effort + Pi testing is next.
