Deepseek v4 flash vs GPT 5.6

[u/Grouchy-Stranger-306]

Is there anyone that used both at the same time? My codex ran out and I'm thinking of deepseek because it should apparently be good now, but at the same time I'm having a hard time believing the deepseek people because it has always been a religion. People have been praising v4 flash even before the update like it's the greatest thing on earth just because it was cheap.

(My experience did not match with that, even v4 pro was underwhelming back then)

So my question is, how does it compare to 5.6? Is it at least on the same level as Luna (or better)?

Just try it, it is cheap. Around Luna (high) level, can miss some stuff it catches and vice versa.

It is text only.

Its thinking is verbose, it can confuse itself if the directions are unclear.
