DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 reportedly scores 42.3 on Terminal-Bench 4.0, beating GLM-5.3 but only with its own harness

X user teortaxesTex says he's confident DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017's 42.3 score on Terminal-Bench 4.0 is real — above GLM-5.3 — and asked Artificial Analysis to rerun it in the native harness. The quoted post reveals a key caveat: without DeepSeek's own harness the model scores only 32, jumping to 40+ with dsh. The leaked table also shows clear gains over V4.1-Flash on agentic benchmarks like DeepSWE v1.1 (77.0), Automation-Bench (60.5) and Apex Bench (72.1), though HLE still trails Claude Opus 5 (56.3). The harness dependence is worth watching.
