Engineer with unlimited local DeepSeek V4.1 Flash tokens asks what's actually worth running
AbbreviationsLoud182 · reddit · 2026-11-15
An AI engineer shares that his company runs DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 locally with essentially free tokens, currently paired with the Pi coding agent harness for loops and coding tasks.
Candidate use cases he lists: long-running coding agents, automated code reviews and repo audits, test generation and edge-case hunting, background research/docs maintenance, and large-scale evals or labeling. He's asking what people actually run continuously or overnight when inference cost stops being the constraint — and which tasks should still go to stronger frontier models.
