I would have said the same thing as the author if I'd written that, counting 'beating' as being exceedingly cheaper while delivering comparable results, and doing it under sanctions. Deepseek makes a lot of sense for hobby projects because of the price, though I'm hearing about professional devs ditching Claude for V4-pro - but before deepseek, there was no reasonable solution for agentic at home, and you were stuck on debugging on the web interface.

Mind you speaking of benchmarks I have no idea what these things are actually supposed to represent lol. I found v4 good at recall and memory, but when talking to it (doing research, clarifying questions etc as opposed to just having it code), I found its overall output pretty diminished, like an old GPT 3.5 "you're so right - and here's why you are". You can gloss over it but they had found a great mix by late 3.2 imo.

I thought that claim wasn't quite right. Maybe the author was just cherry picking certain stats or benchmarks.
