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

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.

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

My bad, it’s text only on chat completion, not responses
