Hi, I am happy it works well for you. For me personally I struggle finding good use-cases in general for these OOS models. I am lightly technical but I do not manually code. So my flow is /grill-me (can take hours), make plan, review plan with 2. model, implement, review after implementation.

Maybe it is because my tasks are usually chunkier, or because I cant code myself that I struggle using cheaper models. Feels like at every stage of this process SOTA model improves it by 5%, which adds up.

But I am maybe ignorant of Opus level. My main driver is 5.5 and Opus is there for frontend and 2. opinion. In a past I also used Claude models for the chatting phase, but 5.5 took over recently. Maybe Deepseek is closer to Opus and I just overestimated the model compared to 5.5? I tried to give it benefit of being similar.

Recently I started experimenting with Deepseek Flash, maybe hoping if plan is solid enough it can implement quickly and cheaply, but for now it feels not worth it.

How do you use the model to see the benefits? Have you tried 5.5 and can you compare to that one as well?

Thanks.

In my experience, deep seek models are massively overrated in terms of how good they actually are at agantic usage, coding and writing, just because they are kind of the first open source entrant and the name a lot of people know. Try GLM 5.1, coding and writing just because they are kind of the first open source entrant and the name a lot of people know. Try GLM 5.1.
