I've been trying to use DeepSeek V4.1 Flash more and been very impressed. My current (very rough) rule of thumb is that an Artificial Analysis score of ~40 is the crossover point for "good enough" for most of the things I need to do with coding agents.

47 is my crossover for serious things (e.g. Grok 4.7 is below the line and GPT 6 Sol is above the line). I mean, Opus 5.5 is way better, but GPT 6 Sol still gets the job done for anything that doesn't require design thinking.

Although I do think Luna 6 max is ok for some basic things, would never use it for coding myself.

Had the same experience. I got rid of my pro sub of OpenAI. I’m really freaking impressed.
