willcb: DeepInfer's efficiency is mostly assembling prior releases — dflash/dspark mattered more

- willcb argues the market has likely priced DeepInfer in as 'progress as usual': the end-to-end system adds little beyond sum-of-parts, and missing components make it hard for providers to drop in.
- He thinks the earlier dflash/dspark releases mattered more, and that DeepInfer's efficiency comes from jointly assembling prior releases rather than anything majorly new — benchmarks don't reflect this.
