alt Hacker NewsDo you mean Flash and not Pro? I haven't tried it personally, but according to OpenRouter, the fastest DeekSeep V4 Pro providers are only ~50tps. That's slower than Claude Opus.

No, I mean Pro. I use it through OpenCode Go so I don't know what provider it uses under the hood, but it's very fast in my experience.

I don't think token speed matters as much when a lot of tokens are needed to achieve a task. E.g. artificial analysis benchmarks where deepseek v4 is one of the biggest token burners to go through the benchmark.

Yeah, flash is crazy fast, but I've found performance variable.

In recent benchmarking I've been doing, DeepSeek V4 Pro was the fastest of 21 models, by a comfortable margin (https://swelljoe.com/html/bench-report-final.html). Faster than Claude Opus 4.8, which was the second fastest (Mistral doesn't count because it seems to have refused to participate). But, it's a limited data set, just a few benchmark runs of a limited set of tasks. It's entirely possible I happened to be calling the API at its least busy time and maybe Claude got hit during a busy time.
