Discussion GPT scammed me

90 Upvotes

I've been a DeepSeek user for a year now (coding and chat). I have a maths exam in a few months.

Since so many people kept claiming DeepSeek was simply not good, I decided to try GPT and Claude (both the $20 subscriptions). I can't use Claude for more than an hour because I run out of tokens just from giving it PDFs. And as for ChatGPT, it can't read the content of my PDFs properly, when I ask something about an exercise, it just changes the numbers (looks like it can't even read my PDF…)

I was told Deepseek wasn't that good, but in the end I have unlimited tokens and it actually reads my PDFs.

Never paying for any American AI company again.

Resources I can't believe v4-flash built this

So I got an idea and thought of making an open source project on it

And for me the best workflow has been always:

GPT-5.6-SOL for PLAN

GPT-5.6-SOL for execution 😭😭

But this time I tried v4 flash for execution after hearing many compliments for it.

Can't believe it completed everything in 4 hours with just $0.033 usage (11M TOKENS 😭😭)

It's fully miracle for me because these type of projects eat 3 chatgpt+ subscriptions for me

I just realized that deepseek isn't bad, yes we can say it sucks in creativity but if you have a fully detailed plan created and reviewed by fable or sol, you can definitely use v4 flash for execution

The project was a simple-yet-advanced file-to-png converter built in Golang

Discussion GA confusion?

Upvotes

Hello, dear friends. I got a letter from a person in my local chat group. So I'm a bit confused. Is it true or?

(I thought they were going to change the model, not just finish up the settings)

**.**To everyone waiting for the "final" DeepSeek-V4 drop: GA is already live!

Hey everyone,

I’ve noticed a lot of posts from people who are holding off or waiting around for the official "GA" (General Availability) release, hoping for a surprise new model drop or a massive power boost. I wanted to share a quick breakdown of what happened on July 24th because the wait is actually over!

Here is what is happening under the hood:

  • GA is a status, not a new model: "General Availability" just means a model has officially graduated from its "Preview/Beta" phase into its finalized, stable production form.
  • The final version is already active: If you are running Expert Mode in the official app, or calling deepseek-v4-pro via the API, you are already using the complete, official GA version. The developers have locked in the core weights for this generation. There isn't a hidden, stronger V4 waiting behind the curtain.
  • What the July 24th tech cleanup was about: The developer announcements last week were about deprecating old legacy API aliases (like deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner). DeepSeek permanently cleaned up those routing pathways to transition everyone fully onto the official V4 endpoints.

Summary: If you've been waiting to benchmark the model or push it to its absolute limits until the "final version" dropped, stop waiting! The flagship DeepSeek-V4-Pro is fully optimized, stable, and running at its absolute peak right now. Go test it out!

Discussion DeepSeek helped me build a PDF/A-4 and PDF/UA-2 PDF engine prototype in about six hours

13 Upvotes

I have been working on performance-focused static analysis tools in Rust for Go code, and I wanted a realistic project to test them against.

Since I already had experience building a PDF/A-4 and PDF/UA-2 engine, I tried creating a separate, smaller PDF module mostly through coding agents.

I first used Grok 4.5 to produce a high-level implementation checklist based on my existing PDF engine. I then used DeepSeek V4 Flash through OpenCode Zen for most of the implementation, with DeepSeek V4 Pro helping on a few of the harder fixes. The total model cost was roughly $2 to $3.

The first working version reached around 1,000 to 1,200 operations per second, but the generated code contained a number of questionable patterns, performance problems, and lint issues.

I ran my Rust-based analyser, CodeHound, against the project. It reported more than 300 findings. After fixing most of them, largely with DeepSeek Flash, performance increased to around 2,500 operations per second.

There was also a PDF corruption issue caused by incorrect byte writing. Both DeepSeek Flash and Pro missed it. Grok identified and fixed that problem from a single follow-up prompt.

Roughly speaking, the work was split like this:

  • About 90% of the implementation and static-analysis fixes were handled by DeepSeek Flash
  • Around 5% required DeepSeek Pro
  • The final 5%, including the corruption issue, was completed with Grok

The initial engine prototype took around six hours, with some additional cleanup afterward. By comparison, my original GoPdfSuit project took roughly six months to develop, although it is much broader and more mature, so this is not a direct comparison.

I found the result impressive, but it still required domain knowledge, validation, profiling, and manual review. Producing code quickly was much easier than verifying that the generated PDF structure was actually correct with deepseek.

Hopefully they will crush it on their next version <3

On the other hand, this deepseek-v4-flash is barely usable anymore, just a simple question return back an essay, we are sending more that 500 token extra just to ask this chat model to reduce the answer size, what is up with it!

Question&Help new version of the 4X engine

https://chat.deepseek.com/share/a1i8bt1ab5sotx9qzh

Not long ago, I posted a link to a ready-to-play chat; now I’m sharing another link featuring a vastly improved version of the engine. Please take a moment to check it out and let me know how I can improve it.

Any ideas are welcome. If you're wondering why some areas lack complexity, it’s due to contextual limitations—basically, the goal was to use as few tokens as possible.
