No forensic evidence DeepSeek's V4.1-Flash used Blackwell, buried in report appendix
suchenzang · x · 2026-11-13
suchenzang calls out Will Depue's thread claiming "conclusive forensic evidence" that DeepSeek built its newest models (V4.1-Flash) on Blackwells: Depue's own report, buried in the appendix, states "We recovered no signature from DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (after an exhaustive search)" — and he left that out. She argues the urgency narratives around bag grabs and coups persist because the Blackwell accusation doesn't hold up.
