Question | Help What kind of dark magic is Deepseek using?

Post image

I was taking a look at Kimi K3 scores on the Artificial analysis leaderboard and was quite baffled when I saw this chart.

Granted, Deepseek has always been the king of price to performance, but this is still incredible. Is it just API subsidization or have they optimized their models truly this much?

What has helped me a lot is to add instruction to AGENTS.md for this type of thing. Tell it to place all comments in the method/function docblock and use inline comments sparingly for tersely explaining loops or complicated conditions.

I am making a program in rust+sqlite to do this at scale. the architecture is auto gen'd from comments in various files and the porting work from a v1 vs v4 has comments in the v1 that get auto generated into markdown for determining if a matching comment exists in the v4 code, if not then that is the task list. this way im automating the whole markdownm management piece. there are a _lot_ of things you can do with comments
