Should be extending the lead in intelligence/cost index, as deepseek-v4-flash already were the most price efficient model, which now becomes even better. Although, in the deepseek APIs, the cost is leaking all information about codebases to China.
I find the newest OpenAI and Anthropic models to be way better for big tasks that require many decisions but I don't like that anyway because I lose track of what's being done.
Knowing what I want for every prompt makes DeepSeek Pro the best LLM for me. It allows me to work relatively fast at a very low price.
I didn't do much agent coding and had a mix experience.
1. It would build something that was in the spirit of what I wanted, but unusable in practice.
2. It would build something quite useful, but only the public APIs were nice, the deeper code layers would get more and more convoluted.
3. It would built what I wanted and it would have okay-ish code.
However, for 3. I also had to add a custom AGENTS.md, many more code example, extra repos as subtrees, and review any code that had new concepts.
Much more work, but still much less than typing it all by hand.
