A developer tested the latest DeepSeek 4.1 Flash on video animation generation using the cola harness: 12 minutes of work at roughly $0.20 total cost.
Verdict: cheap, but quality still trails the original Opus 5.5 output. Asked to grade itself against Opus's 10-point standard, the model gave itself a 7.5.
