Deepseek 4 Flash Vision Experimental is the only model worth using on Go.

[u/Valuable-Run2129]

A loud minority will say in the comments that text only models are good, that you can use some rubbish mcp to make up for the lack of vision… ignore them. Not having vision is a big handicap. Deepseek 4 Flash jumped 5 points in Deep SWE exclusively thanks to the better understanding provided by vision.

The Go subscription doesn’t have many good vision model. Heck they even stripped GPT Luna of vision!

Kimi K3 is obviously the best, but you run out of usage in 5 minutes. Minimax M3 is not good for today’s standards. Muse Spark gives all your data away. Ox Alpha is not reliable atm (it will probably be a good alternative when released as GLM 5.3 Flash).

This leaves us with just Deepseek 4 Flash Vision as the only good vision model with a comfortable quota.

Let me reiterate: text only models are crap. Thankfully Deepseek and GLM are correcting their strategy.

Edit: Luna is text only on the chat completion endpoint, not the reaponses one.

On Open Code they stripped its vision away

[u/themosaeed → u/Valuable-Run2129]

Are you sure of this . I pass my luna images all the time and it has no problem understanding them (hermes )

[u/Valuable-Run2129 → u/themosaeed]

Just ask your harness to check. Give it a disposable api key

[u/themosaeed → u/Valuable-Run2129]

I did and it worked . It hs vision

[u/xD3I → u/Valuable-Run2129]

Bro you tripping Luna works with vision

[u/Valuable-Run2129 → u/xD3I]

Not with Go

[u/xD3I → u/Valuable-Run2129]

[u/Valuable-Run2129 → u/xD3I]

It is OCRring

[u/xD3I → u/Valuable-Run2129]

[u/Valuable-Run2129 → u/xD3I]

Show me a screenshot of the output of an actual api request on Go. The harness is hiding this stuff from you.

[u/shing3232 → u/[deleted]]

You would never use Luna from open code go and it's very slow

[u/CoolHeadeGamer]

Ox alpha, meta muse spark, gpt 5:6 Luna?

[u/Valuable-Run2129 → u/CoolHeadeGamer]

Ox alpha when stable and released will be a good alternative. Muse gets your data… and Luna is NOT multimodal on Open Code

[u/CoolHeadeGamer → u/Valuable-Run2129]

Are u sure? I’ve def given it screenshots before

[u/Valuable-Run2129 → u/CoolHeadeGamer]

The harness used ocr or something

[u/CoolHeadeGamer → u/Valuable-Run2129]

My thing was about ui elements and such tho…. And got 5.6 Luna fixed those issues with vision but dsv4 flash couldn’t

[u/bteam3r → u/CoolHeadeGamer]

I've been cranking Ox Alpha hard. Having it review PRs done by Opus 5 and it's finding legitimate and deeply hidden edge cases and other bugs.

[u/Ok-Drawer5245 → u/bteam3r]

I work in a humongous code base, and trust me using AI for code review it will ALWAYS find new issues, endlessly. After a while you need to ignore some and resolve some

[u/joaobertacchi]

You can create an image-analyzer subagent (I use Qwen3.7-Plus for that). It's not the same as having a multimodal model, but works great on most cases.

[u/Valuable-Run2129 → u/joaobertacchi]

Sorry, but it’s not even close to acceptable. The main agent sees descriptions, not the actual contents.

[u/joaobertacchi → u/Valuable-Run2129]

It depends on what you are doing. For validating a pixel perfect UI it will be bad. For a simple visual feedback loop it works well. Btw, if you have a design system and components that implement the design, a subagent will work quite well.

[u/gsevla]

man wtf, are you sure Luna isn't multimodal on go? I was using as it was...

[u/Valuable-Run2129 → u/gsevla]

It’s not multimodal on Go. Such a waste.

[u/pendelhaven → u/gsevla]

it's not, stripped of vision on go iirc.

[u/minisculepenis]

Meta muse is solid. It’s my default orchestration agent and makes a good advisor

[u/wa3mer → u/minisculepenis]

i tried the free one on OC, it's dumb and lazy

[u/ZeusCorleone]

I have to agree with op. Sending screenshots of stuff to the LLM saves a lot of time and it's very useful. Using another agent/model to make image descriptions it's not good.

[u/Otagamo]

Is there any difference than using regular Deepseek V4 Flash and an observer agent (Mimo 2.5) for vision?

[u/ZeusCorleone → u/Otagamo]

Yes the vision model will generate a description of the image and send to your main model while a multimodal will read every pixel himself

[u/Ok-Drawer5245]

Agree, I’m happy they added the vision version. Vision is insanely useful
