alt Hacker NewsOh man. v4.1-flash has been an sbolute game changer for us. We run all our Personal Assistants now on flash (thinking high) by default and it works incredibly well. There is really no need for basic agentic tasks that might require Kimi K.3 or GLM-5.3 levels.
Once its gets juicier, we let flash launch specialized subagents with specific models. GLM-5.3 for coding or Kimi K.3 for research and critique.
But as a main driver. I love flash. And it brought our bill down by A LOT :D

What is the cost of access like for DeepSeek-v4.1-flash, compared to GLM-5.3-flash via ZAI's Coding Plan? Because that's what I use; and often hit the "wait". I wouldn't mind trying a new model subscription or even API access which hits around glm-5.3-flash level weight class (which seem to be enough for me; with quite some human suprvision and nudging) but gives muuuuuuch moooore tokens for the same price.
(And what are the preferred providers?)
>We run all our Personal Assistants now on flash
are you worried about sending all your data to third parties, especially if they're in different countries?
Have you compared it against actual SOTA models like latest Fable or Astra?
What personal assistants are you using?
