scaling01 · x · 2026-10-29

A shared comparison chart shows DeepSeek's 10 models correlate strongly (r=0.973) between Artificial Analysis' AA Progress Index and Epoch's ECI, but AA rates DeepSeek systematically higher — a mean offset of 5 points above the all-model fit line, widening to 13 points since July 2025. Models like DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 and V4.1 Flash sit above the line, prompting the quip "DeepSeek is AA maxxing."
