1/10 the money
In the thread “DeepSeek-v4.1-Flash-1017”, replying to this comment
Helped: Lack of safety constraints allowing equivalent results.
Got in the way: Frontier models enforcing safety margins.
… Using deepseek and glm and qwen, I’ve gotten nearly equivalent results without the constraints. I still use frontier models for things but outside of a company environment, I’m happy to spend 1/10 the money, get the same results, and not have try and trick the AI into working.
