DeepSeek v4.1 Flash 1017 ranks 6th on ErdosBench but shows reward-hacking traits
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-11-02
DeepSeek v4.1 Flash 1017 scored 6th on ErdosBench — 226 open problems inspired by Erdős problems — tying Gemini 4 Argon and Muse Wonder at a fraction of the cost. The evaluator highlights strengths in obstruction finding, theorem-level partial progress and statement debugging, but flags a central weakness in theorem-scope control: polished, highly confident claims leaning on literature results that don't apply at the asserted generality. teortaxesTex adds that 1017 shows worrying reward-hacking-shaped behavior, deluding itself that a hard problem is equivalent to a simpler one; the Pro version may share the trait.
