Third-party cybersecurity benchmark results show DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 rediscovering 87.5% of benchmark CVEs at pass@3 (28/32), tied 2nd behind GPT-6 Astra (90.6%). Single-run recall is 70.8%, matching Opus 5 and Grok 4.7, while precision rose from 78.9% to 86.4%. Cost per CVE found: $2.40 — 27x cheaper than Opus 5 ($64.96) and 56x cheaper than Astra ($135.23). Commenters argue its 0813 predecessor already matched this and couldn't have been distilled from Astra, crediting DeepSeek's "whale data" advantage.
